method as in the opinion of the Board, or, upon redetermination, in
the opinion of The Tax Court of the United States, does properly reflect

SEC. 104. RENEGOTIATION CLAUSE IN CONTRACTS.

Subject to section 106 (a) the Secretary of each Department specif- Post, p. 17.
ically named in section 103 (a) shall insert in each contract made by
such Department thirty days or more after the date of the enactment
of this Act, and the Secretary of each Department designated by the
President under section 103 (a) shall insert in each contract made
by such Department thirty days or more after the date of such
designation, a provision under which the contractor agrees —

(1) to the elimination of excessive profits through renego-
tiation ;

(2) that there may be withheld by the United States from
amounts otherwise due the contractor, or that he will repay to the
United States, if paid to him, any excessive profits ;

103 (g) a provision under which the subcontractor agrees —

(A) to the elimination of excessive profits through
renegotiation ;

section 103 (g) provisions corresponding to those of sub-
paragraphs (A), (B), and (C), and to those of this
subparagraph ;

(4) that there may be withheld by the United States from
amounts otherwise due the contractor, or that he will repay to the
United States, as the Secretary may direct, any amounts which
under section 105 (b) (1) (C) the contractor is directed to with-
hold from a subcontractor and which are actually unpaid at the
time the contractor receives such direction.
The obligations assumed by the contractor or subcontractor under
paragraph (1) or (3) (A), as the case may be, agreeing to the
elimination of excessive profits through renegotiation shall be binding
on him only if the contract or subcontract, as the case may be, is subject
to this title. A provision inserted in a contract or subcontract, which
recites in substance that the contract or subcontract shall be deemed
to contain all the provisions required by this section shall be sufficient
compliance with this section. Whether or not the provisions specified
in this section are inserted in a contract with a Department or sub-
contract, to which this title is applicable, such contract or subcontract,
as the case may be, shall be considered as having been made subject to
this title in the same manner and to the same extent as if such provisions
had been inserted.

SEC. 105. RENEGOTIATION PROCEEDINGS.

(a) Proceedings Before the Board. — Renegotiation proceedings
shall be commenced by the mailing of notice to that effect, in such
form as may be prescribed by regulation, by registered mail to the
contractor or subcontractor. The Board shall endeavor to make an
agreement with the contractor or subcontractor with respect to the
elimination of excessive profits received or accrued, and with respect
to such other matters relating thereto as the Board deems advisable.
Any such agreement, if made, may, with the consent of the contractor
or subcontractor, also include provisions with respect to the elimination
of excessive profits likely to be received or accrued. If the Board
does not make an agreement with respect to the elimination of exces-
sive profits received or accrued, it shall issue and enter an order
determining the amount, if any, of such excessive profits, and forth-
with give notice thereof by registered mail to the contractor or sub-
contractor. In the absence of the filing of a petition with The Tax
Court of the United States under the provisions of and within the
time limit prescribed in section 108, such order shall be final and
conclusive and shall not be subject to review or redetermination by
any court or other agency. The Board shall exercise its powers with
respect to the aggregate of the amounts received or accrued during
the fiscal year (or such other period as may be fixed by mutual agree-
ment) by a contractor or subcontractor under contracts with the
Departments and subcontracts, and not separately with respect to
amounts received or accrued under separate contracts with the Depart-
ments or subcontracts, except that the Board may exercise such powers
separately with respect to amounts received or accrued by the con-
tractor or subcontractor under any one or more separate contracts with
the Departments or subcontracts at the request of the contractor or
subcontractor. By agreement with any contractor or subcontractor,
and pursuant to regulations promulgated by it, the Board may in its
discretion conduct renegotiation on a consolidated basis in order prop-
erly to reflect excessive profits of two or more related contractors or
subcontractors. Renegotiation shall be conducted on a consolidated

basis with a parent and its subsidiary corporations which constitute
an affiliated group under section 141 (d) of the Internal Revenue Code 26U*s."c 9 ; sup.iv,
if all of the corporations included in such affiliated group request §ui(d).'
renegotiation on such basis and consent to such regulations as the
Board shall prescribe with respect to (1) the determination and elimi-
nation of excessive profits of such affiliated group, and (2) the determi-
nation of the amount of the excessive profits of such affiliated group
allocable, for the purposes of section 3806 of the Internal Revenue
Code, to each corporation included in such affiliated group. When- 26 tj t£ s' 0*53806.
ever the Board makes a determination with respect to the amount of
excessive profits, and such determination is made by order, it shall, at
the request of the contractor or subcontractor, as the case may be,
prepare and furnish such contractor or subcontractor with a statement
of such determination, of the facts used as a basis therefor, and of its
reasons for such determination. Such statement shall -not be used in
The Tax Court of the United States as proof of the facts or conclusions
stated therein.

(b) Methods of Eliminating Excessive Profits. —

(1) In general. — Upon the making of an agreement, or the
entry of an order, under subsection (a) of this section by the
Board, or the entry of an order under section 108 by The Tax
Court of the United States, determining excessive profits, the
Board shall forthwith authorize and direct the Secretaries or
any of them to eliminate such excessive profits —

(A) by reductions in the amounts otherwise payable to
the contractor under contracts with the Departments, or by
other revision of their terms ;

(B) by withholding from amounts otherwise due to the
contractor any amount of such excessive profits;

(C) by directing any person having a contract with any
agency of the Government, or any subcontractor thereunder,
to withhold for the account of the United States from any
amounts otherwise due from such person or such subcon-
tractor to a contractor, or subcontractor, having excessive
profits to be eliminated, and every such person or subcon-
tractor receiving such direction shall withhold and pay over
to the United States the amounts so required to be withheld ;

(D) by recovery from the contractor or subcontractor, or
from any person or subcontractor directed under subpara-
graph (C) to withhold for the account of the United States,
through payment, repayment, credit, or suit any amount of
such excessive profits realized by the contractor or subcon-
tractor or directed under subparagraph (C) to be withheld
for the account of the United States ; or

(E) by any combination of these methods, as is deemed
desirable.

(2) Interest. — Interest at the rate of 4 per centum per annum
shall accrue and be paid on the amount of such excessive profits
from the thirtieth day after the date of the order of the Board
or from the date fixed for repayment by the agreement with the
contractor or subcontractor to the date of repayment, and on
amounts required to be withheld by any person or subcontractor
for the account of the United States pursuant to paragraph (1)
(C), from the date payment is demanded by the Secretaries or
any of them to the date of payment. When The Tax Court of the Post p 21
United States, under section 108, redetermines the amount of

PUBLIC LAW 9 — MAR. 23, 1951

[65 Stat.

excessive profits received or accrued by a contractor or subcon-
tractor, interest at the rate of 4 per centum per annum shall
accrue and be paid by such contractor or subcontractor as follows :

(A) When the amount of excessive profits determined by
the Tax Court is greater than the amount determined by the
Board, interest shall accrue and be paid on the amount
determined by the Board from the thirtieth day after the
date of the order of the Board to the date of repayment and,
in addition thereto, interest shall accrue and be paid on the
additional amount determined by the Tax Court from the
date of its order determining such excessive profits to the
date of repayment.

(B) When the amount of excessive profits determined by
the Tax Court is equal to the amount determined by the
Board, interest shall accrue and be paid on such amount from
the thirtieth day after the date of the order of the Board
to the date of repayment,

(C) When the amount of excessive profits determined by
the Tax Court is less than the amount determined by the
Board, interest shall accrue and be paid on such lesser amount
from the thirtieth day after the date of the order of the
Board to the date of repayment, except that no interest shall
accrue or be payable on such lesser amount if such lesser
amount is not in excess of an amount which the contractor
or subcontractor tendered in payment prior to the issuance
of the order of the Board.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, no interest
shall accrue after three years from the date of filing a petition
with the Tax Court pursuant to section 108 of this title in any
case in which there has not been a final determination by the Tax
Court with respect to such petition within such three-year period.

(3) Suits for recovery. — Actions on behalf of the United
States may be brought in the appropriate courts of the United
States to recover, (A) from the contractor or subcontractor, any
amount of such excessive profits and accrued interest not withheld
or eliminated by some other method under this subsection, and
(B) from any person or subcontractor who has been directed
under paragraph (1) (C) of this subsection to withhold for the

and, if such proceeding is not commenced prior to the expiration of
one year following the date upon which such statement is so filed, all
liabilities of the contractor or subcontractor for excessive profits
received or accrued during such fiscal year shall thereupon be dis-
charged. If an agreement or order determining the amount of exces-
sive profits is not made within two years following the commencement
of the renegotiation proceeding, then upon the expiration of such two
years all liabilities of the contractor or subcontractor for excessive
profits with respect to which such proceeding was commenced shall
thereupon be discharged, except that (1) if an order is made within
such two years pursuant to a delegation of authority under subsection

(d) of section 107, such two-year limitation shall not apply to review Post > p * 20 -

feasance or a willful misrepresentation of a material fact, (1) such
agreement shall not for the purposes of this title be reopened as to the
matters agreed upon, and shall not be modified by any officer, employee,
or agent of the United States, and (2) such agreement and any deter-
mination made in accordance therewith shall not be annulled, modified,
set aside, or disregarded in any suit, action, or proceeding. Notwith-
standing any other provision of this title, however, the Board shall

before the first day of the fourth calendar month following the
close of his fiscal year, a financial statement setting forth such
information as the Board may by regulations prescribe as neces-
sary to carry out this title. In addition to the statement required

time or times and in such form and detail as the Board may by
regulations prescribe, furnish the Board any information, records,
or data which are determined by the Board to be necessary to
carry out this title. Any person who willfully fails or refuses

such statement, information, records, or data containing informa-
tion which is false or misleading in any material respect, shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than
$10,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.

(2) Audit of books and records. — For the purpose of this title,
the Board shall have the right to audit the books and records of
any contractor or subcontractor subject to this title. In the
interest of economy and the avoidance of duplication of inspection
and audit, the services of the Bureau of Internal Revenue shall,
upon request of the Board and the approval of the Secretary of
the Treasury, be made available to the extent determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of making examina-
tions and audits under this title.

(1) In general. — If the aggregate of the amounts received or
accrued during a fiscal year (and on or after the applicable effec-
tive date specified in section 102 (a)) by a contractor or subcon-
tractor, and all persons under control of or controlling or under
common control with the contractor or subcontractor, under con-
tracts with the Departments and subcontracts described in section
1Q 3 (g) (1) and (2), is not more than $250,000, the receipts or
accruals from such contracts and subcontracts shall not, for such
fiscal year, be renegotiated under this title. If the aggregate of
such amounts received or accrued during the fiscal year under
such contracts and subcontracts is more than $250,000, no deter-
mination of excessive profits to be eliminated for such year with
respect to such contracts and subcontracts shall be in an amount
greater than the amount by which such aggregate exceeds $250,000.

(2) Subcontracts described in section 103 (g) (3). — If the
aggregate of the amounts received or accrued during a fiscal year
(and on or after the applicable effective date specified in section
102 (a) ) by a subcontractor, and all persons under control of or
controlling or under common control with the subcontractor, under
subcontracts described in section 103 (g) (3) is not more than
$25,000, the receipts or accruals from such subcontracts shall not,
for such fiscal year, be renegotiated under this title. If the aggre-
gate of such amounts received or accrued during the fiscal year

under such subcontracts is more than $25,000, no determination
of excessive profits to be eliminated for such year with respect to
such subcontracts shall be in an amount greater than the amount
by which such aggregate exceeds $25,000.

( 3 ) Computation. — In computing the aggregate of the amounts
received or accrued during any fiscal year for the purposes of

person shall, at such

65 Stat.]

PUBLIC LAW 9 — MAR. 23, 1951

paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, there shall be eliminated
all amounts received or accrued by a contractor or subcontractor
from all persons under control of or controlling or under common
control with the contractor or subcontractor and all amounts
received or accrued by each such person from such contractor or
subcontractor and from each other such person. If the fiscal year
is a fractional part of twelve months, the $250,000 amount and the
$25,000 amount shall be reduced to the same fractional part
thereof for the purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2). In the case
of a fiscal year beginning in 1950 and ending in 1951, the $250,000
amount and the $25,000 amount shall be reduced to an amount
which bears the same ratio to $250,000 or $25,000, as the case may
be, as the number of days in such fiscal year after December 31,
1950, bears to 365, but this sentence shall have no application if
the contractor or subcontractor has made an agreement with the
Board pursuant to section 102 (c) for the application of the pro-
visions of this title to receipts or accruals prior to January 1, 1951,
during such fiscal year.

types of contracts which shall be exempt under this paragraph ;
and the Board shall, in accordance with regulations prescribed
by it, exempt any individual contract not falling within any such
class or type if it determines that such contract does not have a

and processes, refines, or treats such a product to and beyond the first
form or state in which it is customarily sold or in which it has an
established market, the Board shall prescribe such regulations as may
be necessary to give such contractor or subcontractor a cost allowance
substantially equivalent to the amount which would have been realized
by such contractor or subcontractor if he had sold such product at
such first form or state. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this title, there shall be excluded from consideration in determining
whether or not a contractor or subcontractor has received or accrued
excessive profits that portion of the profits, derived from receipts and
accruals subject to the provisions of this title, attributable to the

"Excess inventory." increment in value of the excess inventory. For the purposes of this

subsection the term "excess inventory" means inventory of products,
hereinbefore described in this subsection, acquired by the contractor
or subcontractor in the form or at the state in which contracts for such
products on hand or on contract would be exempted from this title
by subsection (a) (2) or (3) of this section, which is in excess of
the inventory reasonably necessary to fulfill existing contracts or
orders. That portion of the profits, derived from receipts and
accruals subject to the provisions of this title, attributable to the
increment in value of the excess inventory, and the method of exclud-
ing such portion of profits from consideration in determining whether
or not the contractor or subcontractor has received or accrued exces-
sive profits, shall be determined in accordance with regulations pre-
scribed by the Board.

(1) In general. — The provisions of this title shall not apply
to receipts or accruals (other than rents) from subcontracts for
new durable productive equipment, except to that part of such

65 Stat.]

PUBLIC LAW 9— MAR. 23, 1951

receipts or accruals which bears the same ratio to the total of such
receipts or accruals as five years bears to the average useful life
of such equipment as set forth in Bulletin F of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue (1942 edition) or, if an average useful life is
not so set forth, then as estimated by the Board.

(2) Definitions. — For the purpose of this subsection —

(A) the term "durable productive equipment" means
machinery, tools, or other equipment which does not become
a part of an end product acquired by any agency of the
Government under a contract with a department, or of an
article incorporated therein, and which has an average useful
life of more than five years ; and

(B) the term "subcontracts for new durable productive
equipment" does not include subcontracts where the purchaser
of such durable productive equipment has acquired such
equipment for the account of the Government, but includes
pool orders and similar commitments placed in the first
instance by a Department or other agency of the Government
when title to the equipment is transferred on delivery thereof
or within one year thereafter to a contractor or subcontractor.

(d) Permissive Exemptions. — The Board is authorized, in its dis-
cretion, to exempt from some or all of the provisions of this title —

(1) any contract or subcontract to be performed outside of the
territorial limits of the continental United States or in Alaska;

(2) any contracts or subcontracts under which, in the opinion
of the Board, the profits can be determined with reasonable
certainty when the contract price is established, such as certain
classes of (A) agreements for personal services or for the purchase
of real property, perishable goods, or commodities the minimum
price for the sale of which has been fixed by a public regulatory
body, (B) leases and license agreements, and (C) agreements
where the period of performance under such contract or sub-
contract will not be in excess of thirty days.

(3) any contract or subcontract or performance thereunder
during a specified period or periods if, in the opinion of the Board,
the provisions of the contract are otherwise adequate to prevent
excessive profits ;

(4) any contract or subcontract the renegotiation of which
would jeopardize secrecy required in the public interest ;

(5) any subcontract or group of subcontracts not otherwise
exempt from the provisions of this section, if, in the opinion of the
Board, it is not administratively feasible in the case of such
subcontract or in the case of such group of subcontracts to deter-
mine and segregate the profits attributable to such subcontract or
group of subcontracts from the profits attributable to activities
not subject to renegotiation.

The Board may so exempt contracts and subcontracts both individually
and by general classes or types.

following for each State: (a) The acreage allotted to the State as
its share of the 1950 national acreage allotment of two million one
hundred thousand acres, or (b) the State's share of two million one
hundred thousand acres apportioned to States on the basis of the
average acreage harvested for nuts in each State in the five years
1945-1949 : Provided, That any allotment so determined for any State
which is less than the 1951 State allotment announced by the Secretary
prior to the enactment of this Act shall be increased to such announced
allotment and the acreage required for such increases shall be in addi-

determining State acreage allotments in future years. For any year
subsequent to 1951, the national acreage allotment for that year, less
the acreage to be allotted to new farms under subsection (f ) of this
section, shall be apportioned among the States on the basis of their
share of the national acreage allotment for the most recent year in
which such apportionment was made.

"(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Secretary
of Agriculture determines, on the basis of the average yield per acre
of peanuts by types during the preceding five years, adjusted for trends
in yields and abnormal conditions of production affecting yields in
such five years, that the supply of any type or types of peanuts for any
marketing year, beginning with the 1951-1952 marketing year, will
be insufficient to meet the estimated demand for cleaning and shelling
purposes at prices at which the Commodity Credit Corporation may
sell for such purposes peanuts owned or controlled by it, the State
allotments for those States producing such type or types of peanuts
shall be increased to the extent determined by the Secretary to be
required to meet such demand but the allotment for any State may
not be increased under this provision above the 1947 harvested acreage
of peanuts for such State. The total increase so determined shall be
apportioned among such States for distribution among farms produc-

of peanuts of such type or types in the three years immediately pre-
ceding the year for which the allotments are being determined. The
additional acreage so required shall be in addition to the national
acreage allotment, the production from such acreage shall be in addi-
tion to the national marketing quota, and the increase in acreage
allotted under this provision shall not be considered in establishing
future State, county, or farm acreage allotments."

Sec. 2. The period during which the President is authorized to
enter into foreign -trade agreements under section #50 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended and extended is hereby extended for a further
period of two years from June 12, 1951.

Sec. 3. (a) Before entering into negotiations concerning any pro-

(hereinafter in this Act referred to as the "Commission")
with a list of all articles imported into the United States to be con-
sidered for possible modification of duties and other import restric-
tions, imposition of additional import restrictions, or continuance of
existing customs or excise treatment. Upon receipt of such list the
Commission shall make an investigation and report to the President
the findings of the Commission with respect to each such article as to

may be extended in order to carry out the purpose of such section 850
without causing or threatening serious injury to the domestic industry
producing like or directly competitive articles; and (2) if increases in
duties or additional import restrictions are required to avoid serious
injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive

tions required. Such report shall be made by the Commission to the

Commission. No such foreign trade agreement shall be entered into

(c) Section 4 of the Act entitled "An Act to amend the Tariff Act
of 1930", approved June 12, 1934, as amended (19 U: S. C, sec. 1354),
is hereby amended by striking out the matter following the semi-
colon and inserting in lieu thereof the following : "and before conclud-
ing such agreement the President shall request the Tariff Commission

Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, and shall seek information
and advice with respect to such agreement from the Departments of
State, Agriculture, Commerce, and Defense, and from such other
sources as he may deem appropriate."

Sec. 4. (a) Within thirty days after any trade agreement under
section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, has been entered
into which, when effective, will (1) require or make appropriate any
modification of duties or other import restrictions, the imposition of
additional import restrictions, or the continuance of existing customs
or excise treatment, which modification, imposition, or continuance
will exceed the limit to which such modification, imposition, or con-
tinuance may be extended without causing or threatening serious
injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive
articles as found and reported by the Tariff Commission under section
3, or (2) fail to require or make appropriate the minimum increase in
duty or additional import restrictions required to avoid such injury,
the President shall transmit to Congress a copy of such agreement
together with a message accurately identifying the article with respect
to which such limits or minimum requirements are not complied with,
and stating his reasons for the action taken with respect to such
article. If either the Senate or the House of Representatives, or both,
are not in session at the time of such transmission, such agreement and
message shall be filed with the Secretary of the Senate or the Clerk
of the House of Representatives, or both, as the case may be.

(b) Promptly after the President has transmitted such foreign
trade agreement to Congress the Commission shall deposit with the
Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, and
the Committee on Finance of the Senate, a copy of the portions of its
report to the President dealing with the articles with respect to which
such limits or minimum requirements are not complied with.

Sec. 5. As soon as practicable, the President shall take such action
as is necessary to suspend, withdraw or prevent the application of any
reduction in any rate of duty, or binding of any existing customs or
excise treatment, or other concession contained in any trade agreement
entered into under authority of section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended and extended, to imports from the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics and to imports from any nation or area dominated or con-
trolled by the foreign government or foreign organization controlling
the world Communist movement.

Sec. 6. (a) No reduction in any rate of duty, or binding of any
existing customs or excise treatment, or other concession hereafter
proclaimed under section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended,
shall be permitted to continue in effect when the product on which the
concession has been granted is, as a result, in whole or in part, of the
duty or other customs treatment reflecting such concession, being
imported into the United States in such increased quantities, either
actual or relative, as to cause or threaten serious injury to the domestic
industry producing like or directly competitive products.

(b) The President, as soon as practicable, shall take such action
as may be necessary to bring trade agreements heretofore entered into
under section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, into con-

On or before January 10, 1952, and every six months thereafter, the
President shall report to the Congress on the action taken by him
under this subsection.

Sec 7. (a) Upon the request of the President, upon resolution of
either House of Congress, upon resolution of either the Committee on
Finance of the Senate or the Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives, upon its own motion, or upon application
of any interested party, the United States Tariff Commission shall
promptly make an investigation and make a report thereon not later
than one year after the application is made to determine whether any
product upon which a concession has been granted under a trade
agreement is, as a result, in whole or in part, of the duty or other
customs treatment reflecting such concession, being imported into
the United States in such increased quantities, either actual or relative,
as to cause or threaten serious injury to the domestic industry pro-
ducing like or directly competitive products.

In the course of any such investigation, whenever it finds evidence
of serious injury or threat of serious injury or whenever so directed
by resolution of either the Committee on Finance of the Senate or
the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives,
the Tariff Commission shall hold hearings giving reasonable public
notice thereof and shall afford reasonable opportunity for interested
parties to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard at such
hearings.

Should the Tariff Commission find, as the result of its investigation
and hearings, that a product on which a concession has been granted
is, as a result, in whole or in part, of the duty or other customs treat-
ment reflecting such concession, being imported in such increased
quantities, either actual or relative, as to cause or threaten serious
injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive
products, it shall recommend to the President the withdrawal or
modification of the concession, its suspension in whole or in part, or
the establishment of import quotas, to the extent and for the time
necessary to prevent or remedy such injury. Within sixty days, or
sooner if the President has taken action under subsection (c) of this
section, the Tariff Commission shall transmit to the Committee on
Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives an exact copy of its report and recommenda-
tions to the President.

(b) In arriving at a determination in the foregoing procedure the
Tariff Commission, without excluding other factors, shall take into
consideration a downward trend of production, employment, prices,
profits, or wages in the domestic industry concerned, or a decline in
sales, an increase in imports, either actual or relative to domestic
production, a higher or growing inventory, or a decline in the propor-
tion of the domestic market supplied by domestic producers.

(c) Upon receipt of the Tariff Commission's report of its investi-
gation and hearings, the President may make such adjustments in
the rates of duty, impose such quotas, or make such other modifica-
tions as are found and reported by the Commission to be necessary
to prevent or remedy serious injury to the respective domestic
industry. If the President does not take such action within sixty
days he shall immediately submit a report to the Committee on Ways
and Means of the House and to the Committee on Finance of the
Senate stating why he has not made such adjustments or modifications,
or imposed such quotas.

(d) When in the judgment of the Tariff Commission no sufficient
reason exists for a recommendation to the President that a concession

65 Stat.]

PUBLIC LAW 51 — JUNE 19, 1951

should be withdrawn or modified or a quota established, it shall make
and publish a report stating its findings and conclusions.

Sec. 8. (a) In any case where the Secretary of Agriculture deter- ^^imwiite 0111 "
mines and reports to the President and to the Tariff Commission with Emergency action,
regard to any agricultural commodity that due to the perishability
of the commodity a condition exists requiring emergency treatment,

the provisions of section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as fulf c 7 $"624
amended, or under the provisions of section 7 of this Act to determine Ante, p. 74.
the facts and make recommendations to the President for such relief
under those provisions as may be appropriate. The President may
take immediate action however, without awaiting the recommenda-
tions of the Tariff Commission if in his judgment the emergency
requires such action. In any case the report and findings of the
Tariff Commission and the decision of the President shall be made
at the earliest possible date and in any event not more than 25 cal-
endar days after the submission of the case to the Tariff Commission.

(b) Subsection (f) of section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, as amended, is hereby amended to read as follows: fu^'c^sW (0

"(f) No trade agreement or other international agreement hereto-
fore or hereafter entered into by the United States shall be applied

or groups of persons inducted under this title should be eliminated,
the period of active service in the Armed Forces of the age group or

this paragraph, there shall be established a National Security Training
Corps.

"(4) The term of office of each member of the Commission shall be
five years, except that (A) the terms of office of the members first tak-
ing office shall expire, as designated by the President at the time of
appointment, two at the end of two years, one at the end of three
years, one at the end of four years, and one at the end of five years,
after the date of enactment of this paragraph; and (B) any member
appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the expiration of the
term for which his predecessor was appointed, shall be appointed for

Security Training Corps as are necessary to carry out the purposes
of this Act. The Commission shall make adequate provisions for the
moral and spiritual welfare of members of the National Security
Training Corps. The Secretary of Defense shall designate the mili-
tary departments to carry out such training. Each military depart-
ment so designated shall carry out such military training in accordance

sion, determine the type or types of basic military training to be
given to members of the National Security Training Corps.

" (6) The Commission is authorized, subject to the civil-service laws
and the Classification Act of 1949, to employ and fix the compensation j 63 ^ 9 ^ 1071
of such officers and employees as it deems necessary to enable it to note,
perform its functions.

" (7) Not later than four months following confirmation of the mem- legislative recom.
bers of the Commission, the Commission shall submit to the Congress S t0 Con '
legislative recommendations which shall include, but not be limited to —
"(A) a broad outline for a program deemed by the Commission
and approved by the Secretary of Defense to be appropriate to
assure that the training carried out under the provisions of this
Act shall be of a military nature, but nothing contained in this
paragraph shall be construed to grant to the Commission the
authority to prescribe the basic type or types of military training
to be given members of the National Security Training Corps;

"(B) measures for the personal safety, health, welfare and
morals of members of the National Security Training Corps;

dependent upon them for support which renders their deferment
advisable, and (2) of any or all categories of those persons found to be .Deficient or defec-
physically, mentally, or morally deficient or defective. For the pur- tlvepersons -
pose of determining whether or not the deferment of any person is
advisable, because of his status with respect to persons dependent upon
him for support, any payments of allowances which are payable by the
United States to the dependents of persons serving in the Armed Forces
of the United States or undergoing training in the National Security
Training Corps shall be taken into consideration, but the fact that
such payments of allowances are payable shall not be deemed con-
clusively to remove the grounds for deferment when the dependency
is based upon financial considerations and shall not be deemed to
remove the ground for deferment when the dependency is based upon
other than financial considerations and cannot be eliminated by finan-
cial assistance to the dependents. The President is also authorized,
under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, to provide for
the deferment from training and service in the Armed Forces or

general power of appointment created on or before october

general power of appointment created on or before October 21,
1942, is exercised by the decedent (1) by will or (2) by a dispo-
sition which is of such nature that if it were a transfer of property
owned by the decedent, such property would be includible in the
decedent's gross estate under subsection (c) or (d) ; but the failure
to exercise such a power or the complete release of such a power
shall not be deemed an exercise thereof.

"If before November 1, 1951, or within the time limited by

amended, in cases to which such paragraph is applicable, a general

of appointment, the subsequent exercise of such power shall not
be deemed to be the exercise of a general power of appointment.

"(2) Powers created after October 21, 1942. — To the extent of
any property with respect to which the decedent has at the time
of his death a general power of appointment created after October
21, 1942, or with respect to which the decedent has at any time
exercised or released such a power of appointment by a disposition
which is of such nature that if it were a transfer of property
owned by the decedent, such property would be includible in the
decedent's gross estate under subsection (c) or (d). A disclaimer
or renunciation of such a power of appointment shall not be
deemed a release of such power.

"For the purposes of this paragraph (2) the power of appoint-
ment shall be considered to exist on the date of the decedent's
death even though the exercise of the power is subject to a prece-
dent giving of notice or even though the exercise of the power
takes effect only on the expiration of a stated period after its
exercise, whether or not on or before the date of the decedent's
death notice has been given or the power has been exercised.

"(3) Definition of general power of appointment. — For the
purposes of this subsection the term 'general power of appoint-
ment' means a power which is exercisable in favor of the decedent,
his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate; except
that —

" ( A) A power to consume, invade, or appropriate property
for the benefit of the decedent which is limited by an ascer-
tainable standard relating to the health, education, support,
or maintenance of the decedent shall not be deemed a general
power of appointment.

"(B) A pow T er of appointment created on or before Octo-
ber 21, 1942, which is exercisable by the decedent only in
conjunction with another person shall not be deemed a gen-
eral power of appointment.

"(C) In the case of a pow T er of appointment created after
October 21, 1942, which is exercisable by the decedent only
in conjunction with another person —

"(i) if the power is not exercisable by the decedent
except in conjunction with the creator of the power —
such power shall not be deemed a general power of
appointment.

"(ii) if the power is not exercisable by the decedent
except in conjunction with a person having a substantial
interest in the property, subject to the power, which is
adverse to exercise of the power in favor of the dece-
dent — such power shall not be deemed a general power
of appointment. For the purposes of this clause a person
who, after the death of the decedent, may be possessed
of a power of appointment (with respect to the property
subject to the decedent's power) which he may exercise
in his own favor shall be deemed as having an interest
in the property and such interest shall be deemed adverse
to such exercise of the decedent's power.

"(iii) if (after the application of clauses (i) and (ii))
the power is a general power of appointment and is exer-
cisable in favor of such other person — such power shall
be deemed a general power of appointment only in respect

power, such part to be determined by dividing the value
of such property by the number of such persons (includ-
ing the decedent) in favor of whom such power is
exercisable.

"(4) Creation of another power in certain cases. — To the
extent of any property with respect to which the decedent (1) by
will or (2) by a disposition which is of such nature that if it were
a transfer of property owned by the decedent, such property would
be includible in the decedent's gross estate under subsection (c),
exercises a power of appointment created after October 21, 1942,
by creating another power of appointment which under the appli-
cable local law can be validly exercised so as to postpone the vest-
ing of any estate or interest in such property, or suspend the
absolute ownership or power of alienation of such property, for a
period ascertainable without regard to the date of the creation
of the first power.

"(5) Lapse or power. — The lapse of a power of appointment
created after October 21, 1942, during the life of the individual
possessing the power shall be considered a release of such power.
The rule of the preceding sentence shall apply with respect to
the lapse of powers during any calendar year only to the extent
that the property which could have been appointed by exercise of
such lapsed powers exceeded in value, at the time of such lapse,
the greater of the following amounts :
"(A) $5,000, or

"(B) 5 per centum of the aggregate value, at the time of
such lapse, of the assets out of which, or the proceeds of which,
the exercise of the lapsed powers could have been satisfied."

(b) Date of Creation of Power. — For the purposes of this section
a power of appointment created by a will executed on or before October
21, 1942, shall be considered a power created on or before such date
if the person executing such will dies before July 1, 1949, without
having republished such will, by codicil or otherwise, after October 21,

eral power of appointment. For the purposes of this
clause a person who, after the death of the possessor,
may be possessed of a power of appointment (with
respect to the property subject to the possessor's
power) which he may exercise in his own favor shall
be deemed as having an interest in the property and
such interest shall be deemed adverse to such exercise
of the possessor's power;

"(iii) if (after the application of clauses (i) and (ii))
the power is a general power of appointment and is
exercisable in favor of such other person — such power
shall be deemed a general power of appointment only in
respect of a fractional part of the property subject to
such power, such part to be determined by dividing the
value of such property by the number of such persons
(including the possessor) in favor of whom such power
is exercisable.

65 Stat.]

PUBLIC LAW 59— JUNE 28, 1951

For the purposes of clauses (ii) and (iii) a power shall be
deemed to be exercisable in favor of a person if it is exercis-
able in favor of such person, his estate, his creditors, or the
creditors of his estate.
" (4) Creation of another power in certain cases. — If a power
of appointment created after October 21, 1942, is exercised by
creating another power of appointment which under the appli-
cable local law can be validly exercised so as to postpone the vest-
ing of any estate or interest in the property which was subject to
the first power, or suspend the absolute ownership or power of
alienation of such property, for a period ascertainable without
regard to the date of the creation of the first power, such exercise
of the first power shall, to the extent of the property subject to the
second powder, be deemed a transfer of property by the individual
possessing such power.

"(5) Lapse of pow t er. — The lapse of a power of appointment
created after October 21, 1942, during the life of the individual
possessing the power shall be considered a release of such power.
The rule of the preceding sentence shall apply with respect to
the lapse of powers during any calendar year only to the extent
that the property which could have been appointed by exercise
of such lapsed powers exceeds in value the greater of the follow-
ing amounts:

"(A) $5,000, or

"(B) 5 per centum of the aggregate value of the assets out
of which, or the proceeds of which, the exercise of the lapsed
powers could be satisfied."

(b) Date of Creation of Power. — For the purposes of this section
a power of appointment created by a will executed on or before
October 21, 1942, shall be considered a power created on or before
such date if the person executing such will dies before July 1, 1949,
without having republished such will, by codicil or otherwise, after
October 21, 1942.

"PURPOSES ; TIME LIMIT

"Section 1. (a) It is hereby found that the national emergency and
the national defense program (1) have aggravated the congested
situation with regard to housing accommodations existing at the seat
of government; (2) have led or will lead to profiteering and other
speculative and manipulative practices by some owners of housing
accommodations; (3) have rendered or will render ineffective the
normal operations of a free market in housing accommodations; and
(4) are making it increasingly difficult for persons whose duties or
obligations require them to live or work in the District of Columbia
to obtain such accommodations. Whereupon it is the purpose of this
Act and the policy of the Congress during the existing emergency to
revent undue rent increases and any other practices relating to
ousing accommodations in the District of Columbia which may tend
to increase the cost of living or otherwise impede the national defense
program.

"(b) The provisions of this Act, and all regulations, orders, and Expiration date,
requirements thereunder, shall terminate on June 30, 1952 ; except that
as to offenses committed, or rights or liabilities incurred, prior to such
expiration date, the provisions of this Act and such regulations,
orders, and requirements shall be treated as still remaining in force
for the purpose of sustaining any proper suit, action, or prosecution
with respect to any such right, liability, or offense.

"maximum-rent ceilings and minimum-service standards

"Sec. 2. Subject to such adjustments as may be made pursuant to
sections 3 and 4, maximum-rent ceilings and minimum-service stand-
ards for housing accommodations in the District of Columbia shall be
the following :

"(1) For housing accommodations rented on January 1, 1951,
and not under control under this Act prior to that date, the rent
and service to which the landlord and tenant were entitled on that
date.

"(2) For housing accommodations not rented on January 1,
1951, but which had been rented within the year ending on that
date, and not under control under this Act during that year, the
rent and service to which the landlord and tenant were last
entitled within such year.

"(3) For housing accommodations not rented on January 1,
1951, or within the year ending on that date, and not covered by
subsection (4) hereof, the rent and service generally prevailing
for comparable housing accommodations as determined by the
Administrator.

u (4) For housing accommodations under control under this Act
on December 31, 1950, the rent and service to which the landlord
and tenant were entitled on June 30, 1951 ; except that upon the
filing, by any landlord of any housing accommodations covered
by this subsection, of a new rent schedule on a form prescribed
by the Administrator and setting forth the pertinent circum-
stances as indicated by such form, the rent and service shall be
adjusted and automatically effective upon the date of filing
thereof, (A) for housing accommodations rented on January 1,
1941, or within the year ending on that date, so that the maxi-
mum-rent ceiling shall be increased to 20 per centum above the
rent heretofore frozen at the level of January 1, 1941, or the
last rent in the year 1940, whichever was applicable, plus the

upward adjustments heretofore authorized by General Orders
12 and 13 of the Administrator; and (B) for housing accom-
modations not rented on January 1, 1941, or within the year
ending on that date, so that the maximum-rent ceiling shall be
increased by 2 per centum per year for each calendar year end-
ing after rent schedules for such housing accommodations were
first filed in the office of the Administrator, for the calendar years
1941 to 1950, inclusive, to the extent applicable, plus the upward
adjustments heretofore authorized by General Orders 12 and 13
of the Administrator,

"general and special adjustments

"Seo. 3. (a) Whenever in the judgment of the Administrator a
general increase or decrease since January 1, 1951, in taxes or other
maintenance or operating costs or expenses has occurred or is about
to occur in such manner and amount as substantially to affect the
maintenance and operation of housing accommodations generally or
of any particular class of housing accommodations, he may by regu-
lation or order increase or decrease the maximum-rent ceiling or
minimum-service standard, or both, for such accommodations or class
thereof in such manner or amount as will in his judgment compen-
sate, in whole or in part, for such general increase or decrease.
Thereupon such adjusted ceiling or standard shall be the maximum-
rent ceiling or minimum-service standard for the housing accom-
modations subject thereto.

" (b) Upon a showing by any landlord of good cause in the judgment
of the Administrator that the maximum-rent ceiling on any housing
accommodation is substantially lower than the maximum-rent ceiling
for comparable housing accommodations located within the same
building or group of buildings operated by the same landlord as a
single operation, the Administrator may, by special order under this
section, adjust such lower ceiling so as to equalize the same with such
higher ceiling, and thereupon such adjusted ceilings shall be the
maximum-rent ceilings for the housing accommodations subject to
such special order.

"(c) Upon the showing by any landlord to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that the maximum-rent ceilings, on any comparable
housing accommodations located within the same building or group
of buildings operated by the same landlord as a single operation, will
vary in amount due to the effect of General Orders 12 and 13 or similar
general orders, the Administrator may, by special order under this
section, adjust any or all of such ceilings so as to equalize the same, and
thereupon such adjusted ceilings shall be the maximum-rent ceilings
for the housing accommodations subject to such special order.

Peculiar cireum- "Sec. 4. (a) Any landlord or tenant may petition the Administrator
ances * to adjust the maximum-rent ceiling applicable to his housing

accommodations on the ground that such maximum-rent ceiling is,
due to peculiar circumstances affecting such housing accommodations,
substantially higher or lower than the rent generally prevailing for
comparable housing accommodations ; whereupon the Administrator
may by order adjust such maximum-rent ceiling to provide the rent
generally prevailing for comparable housing accommodations as
determined by the Administrator.

"(b) Any landlord may petition the Administrator to adjust the
maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard, or both, appli-
cable to his housing accommodations to compensate for (1) a substan-
tial rise in taxes or other maintenance or operating costs or expenses
over those prior to January 1, 1951, or (2) a substantial capital
improvement including furniture and furnishings or alteration made
since January 1, 1951; whereupon the Administrator may by order
adjust such maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard in
such manner or amount as he deems proper to compensate therefor,
in whole or in part, if he finds such adjustment necessary or appro-
priate to carry out the purposes of this Act : Provided, That no such
adjusted maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard shall
permit the receipt of rent in excess of the rent generally prevailing
for comparable housing accommodations as determined by the
Administrator.

"(c) Any tenant may petition the Administrator on the ground
that the service supplied to him is less than the service established by
the minimum-service standard for his housing accommodations;
whereupon the Administrator may order that the service be main-
tained at such minimum-service standard, or that the maximum-rent
ceiling be decreased to compensate for a reduction in service, as he
deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Act.

"(d) Any landlord may petition the Administrator for permission
to reduce the service supplied by him in connection with any housing
accommodations ; whereupon the Administrator, if he determines that
the reduction of such service is to be made in good faith for valid
business reasons and is not inconsistent with carrying out the purposes
of this Act, may, by order, reduce the minimum-service standard
applicable to such housing accommodations and adjust the maximum -
rent ceiling downward in such amount as he deems proper to com-
pensate therefor.

"(e) Any tenant may petition the Administrator to adjust the
maximum-rent ceiling applicable to his housing accommodations on
the ground that such maximum-rent ceiling permits the receipt of an
unduly high rent ; whereupon the Administrator may by order adjust
such maximum -rent ceiling in such manner or amount as shall, in his
judgment, effectuate the purposes of this Act and provide a fair and
reasonable rent for such housing accommodations, but not less than the
generally prevailing rate for comparable housing accommodations.

"(f) A petition made pursuant to this section shall be subject to the
provisions of sections 8 and 9 of this Act. Any adjusted maximum-rent
ceiling or minimum-service standard ordered pursuant to this section
shall be the maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard for
the housing accommodations subject thereto; except that, in the event
that the adjustment order is stayed or set aside by the court in accord-
ance with section 9 of this Act, the maximum-rent ceiling and mini-
mum-service standard theretofore applicable to such housing accom-
modations under this Act remain in full force and effect.

"(g) Upon the expiration of forty-five days after the date of the
filing of any petition by anjr landlord for adjustment of the maximum-
rent ceiling under the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, the
maximum-rent ceiling for the housing accommodations covered by such
petition automatically shall become the ceiling requested in such
adjustment petition, unless and until such adjustment petition shall

"(2) The landlord seeks in good faith to recover possession of
the property for his immediate and personal use and occupancy as
a dwelling : Provided, That in the case of housing accommoda-
tions in a structure or premises owned or leased by a cooperative
corporation or association no such action or proceeding under
this paragraph or paragraph (3) of this section shall be main-
tained unless the landlord is a bona fide owner of stock in, or
member of, such cooperative corporation or association and has
actually paid in in cash at least 20 per centum of the full purchase
price of the stock, proprietary lease, or other evidence of owner-
ship entitling the landlord to possession of such housing accom-
modations, or was, immediately prior to the effective date of this
amendatory Act, entitled to recover possession.

"(3) The landlord has in good faith contracted in writing to
sell the property for immediate and personal use and occupancy
as a dwelling by the purchaser and that the contract of sale con-
tains a representation by the purchaser that the property is
being purchased by him for such immediate and personal use
and occupancy ; or

"(4) The landlord seeks in good faith to recover possession
for the immediate purpose of substantially altering, remodeling,
or demolishing the property and replacing it with new construc-

"Sec. 303. (a) To assist in carrying out the objectives of this Act,

ments to purchase metals, minerals, and other materials, for Govern-
ment use or resale; and (2) for the encouragement of exploration,
development, and mining of critical and strategic minerals and
metals : Provided, however, That purchases for resale under this sub-
section shall not include that part of the supply of an agricultural
commodity which is domestically produced except insofar as such
domestically produced supply may be purchased for resale for indus-
trial uses or stockpiling, and no commodity purchased under this sub-
section shall be sold at less than the established ceiling price for such
commodity (except that minerals and metals shall not be sold at less
than the established ceiling price, or the current domestic market
price, whichever is lower) , or, if no ceiling price has been established,
the higher of the following: (i) the current domestic market price
for such commodity, or (ii) the minimum sale price established for
agricultural commodities owned or controlled by the Commodity
Credit Corporation as provided in section 407 of Public Law 439,
Eighty-first Congress : Provided further, however, That no purchase
or commitment to purchase any imported agricultural commodity
shall be made calling for delivery more than one year after the
expiration of this Act.

"(b) Subject to the limitations in subsection (a), purchases and
commitments to purchase and sales under such subsection may be
made without regard to the limitations of existing law, for such quan-
tities, and on such terms and conditions, including advance payments,
and for such periods, but not extending beyond June 30, 1962, as the
President deems necessary, except that purchases or commitments to
purchase involving higher than established ceiling prices (or if there
be no established ceiling prices, currently prevailing market prices)
or anticipated loss on resale shall not be made unless it is determined
that supply of the materials could not be effectively increased at lower
prices or on terms more favorable to the Government, or that such
purchases are necessary to assure the availability to the United States
of overseas supplies.

"(c) If the President finds —

"(1) that under generally fair and equitable ceiling prices for
any raw or nonprocessed material, there will result a decrease in
supplies from high-cost sources of such material, and that the
continuation of such supplies is necessary to carry out the ob-
jectives of the Act; or

"(2) that an increase in cost of transportation is temporary in
character and threatens to impair maximum production or supply
in any area at stable prices of any materials,

establishing such ceiling price, or (B) the price prevailing during
the period January 25, 1951, to February 24, 1951, inclusive. Nothing
in this paragraph shall prohibit the establishment or maintenance of
a ceiling price with respect to any material (other than an agricul-
tural commodity) or service which (1) is based upon the highest price
between January 1, 1950, and June 24, 1950, inclusive, if such ceiling
price reflects adjustments for increases or decreases in costs occurring
subsequent to the date on which such highest price was received and
prior to July 26, 1951, or (2) is established under a regulation issued
prior to the enactment of this paragraph. Upon application and a
proper showing of his prices and costs by any person subject to a ceil-
ing price, the President shall adjust such ceiling price in the manner

402 (c) , as shown by their records during such period, except as to any

tomary margins of all other classes of persons concerned in the pro-

subject to the jurisdiction of the United States for an order enjoining
such acts or practices, or for an order enforcing compliance with such
provision, and upon a showing by the President that such person has

without such injunction or restraining order, shall be granted without
bond."

of controlling inflationary tendencies : Provided further, That in any
nondtsputed wage or salary adjustments proposed as a result of
voluntary agreement through collective bargaining, mediation, or
otherwise, the same finding and certification of consistency with exist-
ing stabilization policy shall be made by the separate panel, chairman
thereof, or boards as established and authorized by the President.
Where such finding and certification are made by such agency, panel,
chairman thereof, or boards, they shall after approval by the Eco-
nomic Stabilization Administrator be conclusive and it shall then be
lawful for the employees and carriers, by agreement, to put into effect
the changes proposed by the settlement, recommended settlement, or
voluntary proposal with respect to which such findings and certifica-
tion were made."

ation, number of employees, dollar volume of business, and nondomi-
nance in its field.

Administration. This revolving fund shall be used for the purposes
enumerated subsequently in subsection (b) (1) (B), (C), and (D).
Reimbursements made to the Administration under these operations
shall revert to the revolving fund for use for the same purposes.

Sec. 203. Section 204 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following :

"(k) The President shall by regulation or order establish such
maximum rent or maximum rents as in his judgment will be fair and
equitable for controlled housing accommodations (as defined in section
202 (c) ) (1) in any State which by law declares that there exists such
a shortage in rental housing accommodations as to require Federal
rent control in such State, or (2) in any incorporated city, town,
village, or in the unincorporated area of any county (other than a
city, town, village, or unincorporated area of any county within a
State which is controlling rents) upon receipt of a resolution of its
governing body adopted for that purpose in accordance with applicable
local law and based upon a finding by such governing body, reached as
a result of a public hearing held after ten days' notice, that there exists
such a shortage in rental housing accommodations as to require Federal
rent control in such city, town, village, or unincorporated area in such
county. In establishing any maximum rent for any housing accom-
modations under this subsection the President shall give due consid-
eration to the rents prevailing for such housing accommodations or
comparable housing accommodations during the period from May
24, 1950, to June 24, 1950, and he shall make adjustment for such
relevant factors as he shall deem to be of general applicability in
respect to such accommodations, including increases or decreases in
property taxes and other costs within such State, incorporated city,
town, or village, or unincorporated area.

" (1) Whenever the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Defense
Mobilization, acting jointly, shall determine and certify to the Presi-
dent that any area (whether then or ever controlled or decontrolled
under this Act) is a critical defense housing area, the President shall
by regulation or order establish such maximum rent or maximum rents
for any housing accommodations, not then subject to rent control, in
such area or portion thereof as in his judgment will be fair and equi-
table. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 202 (c) the term
'controlled housing accommodations' as applied to any such critical
defense housing area shall include all housing accommodations in the
area, without exception. In establishing any maximum rent for any
housing accommodations under this subsection, the President shall give
due consideration to the rents prevailing for such housing accommoda-
tions or comparable housing accommodations during the period from
May 24, 1950, to June 24, 1950, and he shall make adjustment for
such relevant factors as he shall determine and deem to be of general
applicability in respect to such accommodations, including increases or
decreases in property taxes and other costs within such area. Maxi-
mum rents in any critical defense housing area shall be terminated at
such time as the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Defense
Mobilization, acting jointly, shall determine and certify to the Presi-

Director of Defense Mobilization, acting jointly. No area shall be
certified as a critical defense housing area under the authority granted
in this subsection unless all the following conditions exist in such
area :

"(1) a new defense plant or installation has been or is to be pro-
vided, or an existing defense plant or installation has been or is to
be reactivated or its operation substantially expanded;

"(2) substantial in-migration of defense workers or military per-
sonnel is required to carry out activities at such plant or installation ;
and

"(3) a substantial shortage of housing required for such defense
workers or military personnel exists or impends which has resulted
or threatens to result in excessive rent increases and which impedes
or threatens to impede activities of such defense plant or installation.

"(m) Whenever an area has been certified under subsection (1)
to be a critical defense housing area, real-estate construction credit
controls imposed under title VI of the Defense Production Act of 1950
shall be relaxed to the extent necessary to encourage construction of
housing for defense workers and military personnel : Provided^ That
the certification, pursuant to subsection (1), that an area is a critical
defense housing area shall not be effective in such area for any of
the purposes of this section until such real-estate construction credit
controls have been relaxed as provided in this subsection to the extent
necessary in the determination of the President. The fact that any
area has been certified as a critical defense housing area under sub-
section (1) shall not make such area ineligible for the location of
additional defense plants, facilities, or installations, or as a source
of additional military procurement of any sort.

u (n) No maximum rents shall be established under subsection (1)
for housing accommodations in any State where rent control is in
effect or in any locality where local rent control is in effect, unless
the rent component of the Consumers' Index of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for such State or locality has increased more than the
United States average of the rent component of such index during
the last six months for which such index is available immediately
preceding the establishment of such maximum rents. The rent com-
ponent of the Consumers' Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
for any State shall be the average, weighted by population as deter-
mined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all reported cities in the
State, except that, where only one city is reported, the rent com-
ponent for the State shall be the rent component for that city. Upon
the establishment of maximum rents pursuant to subsection (1) for
housing accommodations in a State in which State rent control is in
effect, State rent control shall thereupon terminate. Upon the estab-
lishment of maximum rents pursuant to subsection (1) for housing
accommodations in a locality in which local rent control is in effect,
local rent control shall thereupon terminate. The rent component
for any locality subject to local rent control shall be the rent com-
ponent as established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for that
locality. Where data concerning rents have not been heretofore
collected for a city in a State having State rent control or for a par-
ticular locality which has local rent control, the President may cause
a survey to be made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the purpose
of establishing a rent component for that State or locality. For the
purposes of this subsection, State rent control shall be deemed in
effect in any State in which maximum rents are controlled pursuant
to State law throughout the State, regardless of whether maximum
rents are actually in effect in every locality of the State.

u (o) In order to compensate for increases which have occurred
in costs and prices, the maximum rent in effect on the date of enact-

65 Stat.]

PUBLIC LAW 96— JULY 31, 1951

147

ment of this subsection for any housing accommodation shall, upon
sworn application, be increased to 120 per centum of the following:
The maximum rent for the housing accommodation in effect on
June 30, 1947 (or if no maximum rent was then in effect for the hous-
ing accommodation, the maximum rent then in effect for comparable
housing accommodations), plus the amount of any increase allowed
or allowable under this Act for major capital improvements or for
increases in living space, services, furniture, furnishings, or equipment,
and minus any decrease required or requirable under this Act for
decreases in living space, services, furniture, furnishings, or equip-
ment, or for substantial deterioration or failure to perform ordinary
repair, replacement, or maintenance. Any increase in a maximum
rent applied for under this subsection which is based upon the maxi-
mum rent in effect on June 30, 1947, for the particular housing accom-
modation and upon increases and decreases actually allowed under
this Act shall be effective upon the filing of the application. Nothing
in this subsection shall require the reduction of any maximum rent,
nor prevent such additional adjustment for increases in costs and
prices as the President may deem appropriate."

Sec. 204. Section 205 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as s - c - & pp-

amended^ is amended to read as follows :

"Sec. 205. (a) Any person who demands, accepts, receives, or retains ti0 ^ abmt y for viola "
any payment of rent in excess of the maximum rent prescribed under 1
the provisions of this Act, or any regulation, order, or requirement
thereunder, shall be liable to the person from whom such payment is
demanded, accepted, received, or retained (or shall be liable to the
United States as hereinafter provided) for reasonable attorney's fees
and costs as determined by the court, plus liquidated damages in the
amounts of (1) $50, or (2) not more than three times the amount by
which the payment or payments demanded, accepted, received, or
retained exceed the maximum rent which could lawfully be demanded,
accepted, received, or retained, as the court in its discretion may
determine, whichever in either case may be the greater amount : Pro-
vided, That the amount of such liquidated damages shall be the amount
of the overcharge or overcharges if the defendant proves that the vio-
lation was neither willful nor the result of failure to take practicable
precautions against the occurrence of the violation.

"(b) Any person who unlawfully evicts a tenant shall be liable to unlawful eviction,
the person so evicted (or shall be liable to the United States as here-
inafter provided) for reasonable attorney's fees and costs as deter-
mined by the court, plus liquidated damages in the amounts of (1)
one month's rent or $50, whichever is greater, or (2) not more than
three times such monthly rent, or $150, whichever is greater : Provided,
That the amount of such liquidated damages shall be the amount of one
month's rent or $50, whichever is greater, if the defendant proves that
the violation was neither willful nor the result of failure to take
practicable precautions against the occurrence of the violation.

"(c) Suit to recover liquidated damages as provided in this section suits,
may be brought in any Federal court of competent jurisdiction regard-
less of the amount involved, ov in any State or Territorial court of
competent jurisdiction, within one year after the date of violation :
Provided^ That if the person from whom such payment is demanded, settlement,
accepted, received, or retained, or the person wrongfully evicted,
either fails to institute an action under this section within thirty days
from the date of the occurrence of the violation or is not entitled for
any reason to bring the action, the United States may settle the claim
arising out of the violation or within one year after the date of viola-
tion may institute such action. If such claim is settled or such action
is instituted, the person from whom such payment is demanded,

who lawfully gains possession from a tenant of any controlled housing
accommodations, and thereafter fails fully to comply w T ith such re-
quirements or conditions as may have been imposed for such possession
by the provisions of this Act or any regulation, order, or requirement

vided in this Act."

was received, that said fur product is not misbranded or that said fur

herein to limit the production of oil or gas for the purpose of stabiliz-
ing or fixing the price thereof, or create or perpetuate monopoly, or
to promote regimentation, but is limited to the purpose of conserving
oil and gas and preventing the avoidable waste thereof within reason-
able limitations.

"article yi

commission hereby constituted and designated as the Interstate Oil
Compact Commission, the duty of which said commission shall be to
make inquiry and ascertain from time to time such methods, practices,
circumstances and conditions as may be disclosed for bringing about
conservation and the prevention of physical waste of oil and gas, and
at such intervals as said commission deems beneficial it shall report
its findings and recommendations to the several States for adoption
or rejection.

"The Commission shall have power to recommend the coordination
of the exercise of the police powers of the several states within their
several jurisdictions to promote the maximum ultimate recovery from
the petroleum reserves of said states, and to recommend measures for
the maximum ultimate recovery of oil and gas. Said Commission
shall organize and adopt suitable rules and regulations for the conduct
of its business.

"No action shall be taken by the Commission except: (1) by the
affirmative votes of the majority of the whole number of the compact-
ing States represented at any meeting, and (2) by a concurring vote

of a majority in interest of the compacting States at said meeting,
such interest to be determined as follows: such vote of each State
shall be in the decimal proportion fixed by the ratio of its daily aver-
age production during the preceding calendar half-year to the daily
average production of the compacting States during said period.

"article vii

"No State by joining herein shall become financially obligated to
any other State, nor shall the breach of the terms hereof by any State
subject such State to financial responsibility to the other States join-
ing herein.

"article vni

"This compact shall expire September 1, 1937. But any State join-
ing herein, may upon sixty (60) days notice, withdraw herefrom.

ment in a single original which shall be deposited in the archives of
the Department of State of the United States, and a duly certified
copy shall be forwarded to the Governor of each of the signatory
States.

ited, certified, and ratified."

person in active service (without regard to pay grade) who is officially
reported as dead, injured, missing for a period of thirty days or more,
interned in a neutral country, or captured by the enemy, upon appli-
cation by such dependents, may be moved (including packing and
unpacking of household effects), upon receipt by such dependents of

contributions of clothing and kindred supplies in connection with the collec-
tion effort of American Relief for Korea, Incorporated.

Whereas the Deputy Agent General of the United Nations Korean
Reconstruction Agency in Pusan has reported that there are two

Whereas the Unified Command in Korea is supplying emergency food
rations and medical care for said refugees and, through the
Advisory Committee on Voluntary Aid of the Department of State,
is urgently requesting voluntary contributions of clothing, blankets,
yard goods, yarn, needles, thread, soap, and kindred supplies from
the American people ; and

Whereas ten member agencies of the American Council of Voluntary
Agencies for Foreign Service, Incorporated, including the Amer-
ican Friends Service Committee; Brethren Service Commission;

functioning from its national headquarters at 133 East Thirty-ninth
Street, New York 16, New York, with warehouses located at
Maspeth, New York, and Oakland, California, for the preparation
and shipment of clothing and kindred supplies to Korea : Now,
therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and Home of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled. That the Congress of the
United States, having deep sympathy for the plight of the millions
of Korean refugees who are innocent victims of cruel and unprovoked
aggression, recognizes their desperate condition, expresses its hope
and expectation that all Americans will respond generously to the
appeal of American Relief for Korea, Incorporated, and authorizes
the President to set aside as soon as practicable a period of not less
than one month as a special period of intensive effort during the
course of which, as an additional sincere and tangible gesture of
American friendship and sympathy, the clothing collection appeal of
American Relief for Korea, Incorporated, may receive the utmost
support of all Americans.

title unless the mortgagor certifies under oath that in selecting tenants
for any property covered by the mortgage he will not discriminate
against any family by reason of the fact that there are children in
the family, and that he will not sell the property while the insurance
is in effect unless the purchaser so certifies, such certification to be filed
with the Commissioner. Violation of any such certification shall be
a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not to exceed $500.

"(b) To be eligible for insurance under this section a mortgage
shall —

" (1 ) have been made to, and be held by, a mortgagee approved
by the Commissioner as responsible and able to service the mort-
gage properly ;

"(2) involve a principal obligation (including such initial Mndpai obligation,
service charges, appraisal, inspection, and other fees as the Com-
missioner shall approve) in an amount not to exceed 90 per centum
of the appraised value (as of the date the mortgage is accepted
for insurance) of a property, urban, suburban, or rural, upon
which there is located a dwelling designed principally for resi-
dential use for not more than two families in the aggregate, which
is approved for mortgage insurance prior to the beginning of
construction, the construction of which is begun after the date
of enactment of this title. The principal obligation of such mort-
gage shall not, however, exceed $8,100 if such dwelling is designed
for a single-family residence, or $15,000 if such dwelling is
designed for a two-family residence except that the Commissioner
may by regulation increase these amounts to not to exceed $9,000
and $16,000, respectively, in any geographical area where he finds
that cost levels so require : Provided, That if the Commissioner
finds that it is not feasible within the aforesaid dollar amount
limitations to construct dwellings containing three or four bed-
rooms per family unit without sacrifice of sound standards of
construction, design, and livability, he may increase such dollar
amount limitations by not exceeding $1,080 for each additional
bedroom (as defined by the Commissioner) in excess of two
contained in such family unit if he finds that such unit meets
sound standards of livability as a three-bedroom or a four-
bedroom unit, as the case may be ;

"(3) have a maturity satisfactory to the Commissioner but Maturity,
not to exceed thirty years from the date of the insurance of the
mortgage ;

"(4) contain complete amortization provisions satisfactory to Amortization,
the Commissioner;

"(5) bear interest (exclusive of premium charges for insur- interest,
ance) at not to exceed 4% per centum per annum on the amount
of the principal obligation outstanding at any time ;

"(6) provide, in a manner satisfactory to the Commissioner, Periodic payments,
for the application of the mortgagor's periodic payments (exclu-
sive of the amount allocated to interest and to the premium charge
which is required for mortgage insurance as herein provided)
to amortization of the principal of the mortgage ; and

"(7) contain such terms and provisions with respect to insur- insurance, repairs,
ance, repairs, alterations, payment of taxes, default reserves, etc *
delinquency charges, foreclosure proceedings, anticipation of
maturity, additional and secondary liens, and other matters as
the Commissioner may in his discretion prescribe.
"(c) The Commissioner is authorized to fix a premium charge for Premium charges,
the insurance of mortgages under this title but in the case of any
mortgage such charge shall not be less than an amount equivalent to
one-half of 1 per centum per annum nor more than an amount equiva-
lent to iy% per centum per annum of the amount of the principal obli-
gation of the mortgage outstanding at any time, without taking into
account delinquent payments or prepayments. Such premium charges
shall be payable by the mortgagee, either in cash or in debentures
issued by the Commissioner under this title at par plus accrued
interest, in such manner as may be prescribed by the Commissioner:
Provided, That the Commissioner may require the payment of one initial payment,
or more such premium charges at the time the mortgage is insured,
at such discount rate as he may prescribe not in excess of the interest
rate specified in the mortgage. If the Commissioner finds upon the
presentation of a mortgage for insurance and the tender of the initial
premium charge or charges so required that the mortgage complies

with the provisions of this title, such mortgage may be accepted for
insurance by endorsement or otherwise as the Commissioner may
prescribe ; but no mortgage shall be accepted for insurance under this
title unless the Commissioner finds that the project with respect to
which the mortgage is executed is an acceptable risk in view of the
needs of national defense. In the event that the principal obligation
of any mortgage accepted for insurance under this title is paid in
full prior to the maturity date, the Commissioner is further authorized
in his discretion to require the payment by the mortgagee of an adjusted
premium charge in such amount as the Commissioner determines to
be equitable, but not in excess of the aggregate amount of the premium
charges that the mortgagee would otherwise have been required to
pay if the mortgage had continued to be insured under this title until
such maturity date; and in the event that the principal obligation
is paid in full as herein set forth the Commissioner is authorized to
refund to the mortgagee for the account of the mortgagor all, or
such portion as he shall determine to be equitable, of the current
unearned premium charges theretofore paid.

"(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this or any other
Act, except provisions of law enacted hereafter expressly referring
to this paragraph (d), the Commissioner, with the approval of the
Housing and Home Finance Administrator, is further authorized
to prescribe such procedures as are necessary to secure to persons
engaged or to be engaged in national defense activities preference
or priority of opportunity to purchase or rent properties, or interests
therein, covered by mortgages insured under this title.

"(e) Any contract of insurance heretofore or hereafter executed by
the Commissioner under this title shall be conclusive evidence of the
eligibility of the mortgage for insurance, and the validity of any
contract of insurance so executed shall be incontestable in the hands
of an approved mortgagee from the* date of the execution of such
contract, except for fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such
approved mortgagee.

"Sec. 904. (a) In any case in which the mortgagee under a mort-
gage insured under section 903 shall have foreclosed and taken
possession of the mortgaged property, in accordance with regulations
of, and within a period to be determined by, the Commissioner,
or shall, with the consent of the Commissioner, have otherwise
acquired such property from the mortgagor after default, the mort-
gagee shall be entitled to receive the benefit of the insurance as herein-
after provided, upon (1) the prompt conveyance to the Commissioner
of title to the property which meets the requirements of rules and
regulations of the Commissioner in force at the time the mortgage
was insured, and which is evidenced in the manner prescribed by such
rules and regulations; and (2) the assignment to him of all claims of
the mortgagee against the mortgagor or others, arising out of the
mortgage transaction or foreclosure proceedings, except such claims
as may have been released with the consent of the Commissioner.
Upon such conveyance and assignment the obligation of the mort-
gagee to pay the premium charges for insurance shall cease and the
Commissioner shall, subject to the cash adjustment hereinafter pro-
vided, issue to the mortgagee debentures having a total face value
equal to the value of the mortgage and a certificate of claim, as herein-
after provided. For the purposes of this subsection, the value of the
mortgage shall be determined, in accordance with rules and regulations
prescribed by the Commissioner, by adding to the amount of the
original principal obligation of the mortgage which was unpaid on
the date of the institution of foreclosure proceedings, or on the date
of the acquisition of the property after default other than by fore-
closure, the amount of all payments which have been made by the

prior to the mortgage, special assessments which are noted on the
application for insurance or which become liens after the insurance
of the mortgage, insurance of the mortgaged property, and any mort-
gage insurance premiums paid after either of sucli dates and by deduct-
ing from such total amount any amount received on account of the
mortgage after either of such dates and any amount received as rent
or other income from the property, less reasonable expenses incurred
in handling the property, after either of such dates: Provided, That
with respect to mortgages which are foreclosed before there shall have
been paid on account of the principal obligation of the mortgage a
sum equal to 10 per centum of the appraised value of the property
as of the date the mortgage was accepted for insurance, there may
be included in the debentures issued b} 7 the Commissioner, on account
of the cost of foreclosure (or of acquiring the property by other
means) actually paid by the mortgagee and approved by the Com-
missioner an amount —

" ( 1 ) not in excess of 2 per centum of the unpaid principal of
the mortgage as of the date of the institution of foreclosure pro-
ceedings and not in excess of $75 ; or

"(2) . not in excess of two-thirds of such cost, whichever is the
greater : And provided further, That with respect to mortgages
to which the provisions of sections 302 and 306 of the Soldiers'
and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as now or hereafter amended,
apply and which are insured under section 903, and subject to such
regulations and conditions as the Commissioner may prescribe,
there shall be included in the debentures an amount which the
Commissioner finds to be sufficient to compensate the mortgagee
for any loss which it may have sustained on account of interest
on debentures and the payment of insurance premiums by reason
of its having postponed the institution of foreclosure proceedings
or the acquisition of the property by other means during any part
or all of the period of such military service and three months
thereafter.

"(b) The Commissioner may at any time, under such terms and con-
ditions as he may prescribe, consent to the release of the mortgagor
from his liability under the mortgage or the credit instrument secured
thereby, or consent to the release of parts of the mortgaged property
from the lien of the mortgage.

"(c) Debentures issued under this title shall be in such form and
denominations in multiples of $50, shall be subject to such terms and
conditions, and shall include such provisions for redemption, if any,
as may be prescribed by the Commissioner with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and may be in coupon or registered form.
Any difference between the amount of debentures to which the mort-
gagee is entitled under this section or section 908 of this Act and the
aggregate face value of the debentures issued, not to exceed $50, shall
be adjusted by the payment of cash by the Commissioner to the mort-
gagee from the National Defense Housing Insurance Fund.

" (d) The debentures issued under this section to any mortgagee shall
be executed in the name of the National Defense Housing Insurance
Fund as obligor, shall be signed by the Commissioner by either his writ-
ten or engraved signature, and shall be negotiable. All such debentures
shall be dated as of the date foreclosure proceedings were instituted,
or the property was otherwise acquired by the mortgagee after default,
and shall bear interest from such date at a rate determined by the
Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury,
at the time the mortgage was accepted for insurance, but not to exceed
3 per centum per annum, payable semiannually on the 1st day of
January and the 1st day of July of each year. Such debentures shall

and interest by the United States, and such guaranty shall be expressed
on the face of the debentures. In the event that the National Defense
Housing Insurance Fund fails to pay upon demand, when due, the
principal of or interest on any debentures issued under this title, the
Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to the holders the amount thereof
which is hereby auhorized to be appropriated, out of any money in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and thereupon to the extent
of the amount so paid the Secretary of the Treasury shall succeed to
all the rights of the holders of such debentures.

(f) of this Act w T hich are applicable to mortgages insured under
section 207, except that the reference in section 204 (f ) to 'the Housing
Insurance Fund' shall be deemed for the purposes of this section to

acquisition, handling, or disposal of real property by the United
States, the Commissioner shall have power to deal with, complete,
rent, renovate, modernize, insure, make contracts or establish suitable
agencies for the management of, or sell for cash or credit, in his discre-
tion, any properties conveyed to him in exchange for debentures and
certificates of claim as provided in this section ; and, notwithstanding
any other provision of law, the Commissioner shall also have power
to pursue to final collection, by way of compromise or otherwise, all
claims against mortgagors assigned by mortgagees to the Commis-
sioner as provided in this title: Provided, That section 3709 of the
Revised Statutes shall not be construed to apply to any purchase or
contract for services or supplies on account of such property if the
amount thereof does not exceed $1,000. The powder to convey and to
execute in the name of the Commissioner deeds of conveyances, deeds

by any Assistant Commissioner appointed by him, without the
execution of any express delegation of power or power of attorney :
Provided, That nothing in this subsection shall be construed to pre-
vent the Commissioner from delegating such pow r er by order or by
power of attorney in his discretion, to any officer, agent, or employee

than the yield obtainable from other investments authorized by this
section. Debentures so purchased shall be canceled and not reissued.

"(b) Premium charges, adjusted premium charges, and appraisal

Defense Housing Insurance Fund.

"Sec. 906. Nothing in this title shall be construed to exempt any
real property acquired and held by the Commissioner under this title
from taxation by any State or political subdivision thereof, to the
same extent, according to its value, as other real property is taxed.

denned in section 901 of this title (including advances on such mort-
gages during construction) which are eligible for insurance as here-

by the Commissioner. The Commissioner may, in his discretion,
require such mortgagor to be regulated or restricted as to rents or
sales, charges, capital structure, rate of return, and methods of opera-
tion. The Commissioner may make such contracts with, and acquire
for not to exceed $100 stock or interest in any such mortgagor, as the
Commissioner may deem necessary to render effective such restriction
or regulation. Such stock or interest shall be paid for out of the
National Defense Housing Insurance Fund, and shall be redeemed by
the mortgagor at par upon the termination of all obligations of the
Commissioner under the insurance.

"(2) The mortgage shall involve a principal obligation in an

area where he finds that cost levels so require.
"(3) The mortgagor shall agree (i) to certify, upon completion of
the physical improvements on the mortgaged property or project
and prior to final endorsement of the mortgage, either (a) that the
amount of the actual cost of said physical improvements (exclusive of

fication, to the mortgagee, for application to the reduction of the

structed or acquired under the authority of this title shall be sold as
expeditiously as possible and in the public interest taking into con-
sideration the continuation of the need for such housing by persons
engaged in national defense activities. All dwelling structures of
permanent construction designed for occupancy by not more than
four families (including row houses) shall be offered for sale, and
preference in the purchase of any such dwelling structure shall be
granted to occupants and to veterans over other prospective pur-
chasers. As among veterans, preference in the purchase of any such
dwelling structure shall be given to disabled veterans whose disability
has been determined by the Veterans' Administration to be service-
connected. All dwelling structures of permanent construction in any
housing project which are designed for occupancy by more than four
families (and other structures in such project which are not sold
separately) shall be sold as an entity. On such sales first preference
shall be given for such period not less than ninety days nor more than
six months from the date of the initial offering of such project as the
Administrator may determine, to groups of veterans organized on a
mutual ownership or cooperative basis (provided that any such group
shall accept as a member of its organization, on the same terms, subject
to the same conditions, and with the same privileges and responsibil-
ities, required of, and extended to, other members of the group any
tenant occupying a dwelling unit in such project, at any time during
such period as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, starting on
the date of the announcement by the Administrator of the availability
of such project). The Administrator shall provide an equitable
method of selecting the purchasers when preferred purchasers (or
groups of preferred purchasers) in the same preference class or con-
taining members in the same preference class compete with each other.
Sales pursuant to this section shall be for cash or credit, upon such
terms as the Administrator shall determine, and at the fair value of
the property as determined by him : Provided, That full payment to
the Government for the property sold shall be required within a
period of not exceeding twenty-five years with interest on unpaid
balances at not less than 4 per centum per annum.

(b) Where it is necessary to provide housing under this title in
locations where, in the determination of the Administrator, there
appears to be no need for such housing beyond the period during

transferees of such property is concerned. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Act, housing or community facilities constructed by
the United States pursuant to the authority contained herein shall con-
form^to the requirements of State and local laws, ordinances, rules, or
regulations relating to health and sanitation, and, to the maximum
extent practicable, taking into consideration the availability of materi-
als and the requirements of national defense, any housing or com-

porary character, constructed by the United States pursuant to the
authority contained herein shall conform to the requirements of State
or local laws, ordinances, rules,, or regulations relating to building
codes,

(b) Before condemnation proceedings are instituted pursuant to
this title or title IV, an effort shall be made to acquire the property
involved by negotiation unless, because of reasonable doubt as to the
identity of the owner or owners, because of the large number of per-
sons with whom it would be necessary to negotiate, or for other
reasons, the effort to acquire by negotiation would involve, in the
judgment of the Administrator, such delay in acquiring the property
as to be contrary to the interest of national defense. In any condemna-
tion proceeding instituted pursuant to this title or title IV, the court
shall not order the party in possession to surrender possession in
advance of final judgment unless a declaration of taking has been
filed, and a deposit of the amount estimated to be just compensation
has been made, under the first section of the Act of February 26,
1931 (46 Stat. 1421), providing for such declarations. Unless title
is in dispute, the court, upon application, shall promptly pay to the
owner at least 75 per centum of the amount so deposited, but such pay-
ment shall be made without prejudice to any party to the proceeding.

(c) If any real property acquired under this title or title IV is
retained after June 30, 1953, without having been used for the purposes
of this Act, the Administrator shall, if the original owner desires the
property and pays the fair value thereof, return such property to the
owner. In the event the Administrator and the original owner do
not agree as to the fair value of the property, the fair value shall be
determined by three appraisers, one of whom shall be chosen by the
Administrator, one by the original owner, and the third by the first
two appraisers; the expenses of such determination shall be paid in
equal shares by the Government and the original owner.

Sec. 306. Any Federal agency may, upon request of the Adminis-
trator, transfer to his jurisdiction without reimbursement any lands,
improved or unimproved, or other property real or personal, considered
by the Administrator to be needed or useful for housing or community
facilities, or both, to be provided under this title, and the Adminis-
trator is authorized to accept any such transfers. The Administrator
may also utilize any other real or personal property under his juris-
diction for the purpose of this title without adjustment of the appro-
priations or funds involved. Any property so transferred or utilized,
and any funds in connection therewith, shall be subject only to the
authorizations and limitations of this title. The Administrator may,

in his discretion, upon request of the Secretary of Defense or his
designee, transfer to the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense
without reimbursement any land, improvements, housing, or commu-
nity facilities constructed or acquired under the provisions of this title
and considered by the Department of Defense to be required for the
purposes of the said Department. Upon the transfer of any such
property to the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense, the laws,
rules, and regulations relating to property of the Department of
Defense shall be applicable to the property so transferred, and the
provisions of this title and the rules and regulations issued thereunder
shall no longer apply.

Sec. 307. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the acquisi-
tion by the United States of any real property pursuant to this title
or title IV of this Act shall not deprive any State or political subdivi-
sion thereof of its civil or criminal jurisdiction in and over such prop-
erty, or impair the civil or other rights under the State or local law
of the inhabitants of such property. Any proceedings by the United
States for the recovery of possession of any property or project
acquired, developed, or constructed under this title or title IV of this
Act may be brought in the courts of the States having jurisdiction of
such causes.

Sec. 308. The Administrator shall pay from rentals annual sums
in lieu of taxes and special assessments to any State and/or political
subdivision thereof, with respect to any real property, including
improvements thereon, acquired and held by him under this title
for residential purposes (or for commercial purposes incidental
thereto), whether or not such property is or has been held in the
exclusive jurisdiction of the United States. The amount so paid for
any year upon such property shall approximate the taxes and special
assessments which would be paid to the State and/or subdivision,
as the case may be, upon such property if it were not exempt from
taxation and special assessments, with such allowance as may be
considered by him to be appropriate for expenditures by the Federal
Government for the provision or maintenance of streets, utilities, or
other public services to serve such property.

as is consistent with emergency needs, contracts shall be subject

priate State, city, or other local agency having responsibility for
such type of facility in the area not later than one year after
the expiration date specified in title I hereof, and subject to the
conditions and requirements hereafter prescribed by the Congress.

consumers, the Secretary shall establish quotas, or revise existing
quotas —

"(a) For domestic sugar-producing areas, by apportioning among
such areas four million four hundred and forty-four thousand short
tons, raw value, as follows:

"Area Short tons, raw value

Domestic beet sugar 1, 800, 000

"(c) For foreign countries other than the Republic of the Philip-

this section, on the following basis:

"Country Per centum

Cuba 96

Foreign countries other than Cuba and the Republic of the Philippines— 4

"Ninety-five per centum of the quota for foreign countries other

among such countries on the basis of the average amount imported
from each such country within the quotas established for the years
1948, 1949, and 1950, except that a separate proration need not be
established for any country which entered less than two per centum
of the average importations within the quotas for such years. The

whether, in view of the current inventories of sugar, the estimated
production from the acreage of sugarcane or sugar beets planted, the
normal marketings within a calendar year of new-crop sugar, and
other pertinent factors, any area will be unable to market the quota
for such area. If the Secretary finds that any domestic area or Cuba
will be unable to market the quota for such area, he shall revise the
quotas for the domestic areas and Cuba by prorating an amount of
sugar equal to the deficit so determined to the other such areas on the
basis of the quotas then in eifect. If the Secretary finds that the
Kepublic of the Philippines will be unable to market the quota for
such area, he shall revise the quotas for Cuba and foreign countries
other than Cuba and the Republic of the Philippines by prorating
an amount of sugar equal to the deficit so determined, as follows :
"To Cuba, 96 per centum ; and

"To foreign countries other than Cuba and the Republic of
the Philippines, 4 per centum.
If the Secretary finds that foreign countries other than Cuba and
the Republic of the Philippines cannot fill the quota for such area, he
shall increase the quota for Cuba by an amount equal to the deficit.

"Whenever the Secretary finds that any area will be unable to fill
its proration of any such deficit, he may apportion such unfilled
amount on such basis and to such areas as he determines is required
to fill such deficit.

"(b) Whenever the Secretary finds that any country will be unable
to fill the proration to such country of the quota for foreign countries
other than Cuba and the Republic of the Philippines established under
section 202 (c), or that any part of such proration has not been filled
on September 1 of the calendar yea!", he may apportion such unfilled
amount on such basis and to such countries as he determines is
required to fill such proration.

"(c) The quota or applicable proration for any domestic area, the
Republic of the Philippines, Cuba, or other foreign countries as estab-
lished under the provisions of section 202 shall not be reduced by
reason of any determination of a deficit existing in any calendar year
under the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this section."

Sec. 3. Section 20T of such Act is amended by adding a new sub-
section (h) as follows:

"(h) The quota for foreign countries other than Cuba and the
Republic of the Philippines may be filled by direct-consumption sugar
only to the extent of 1.36 per centum of the amount of sugar determined
pursuant to section 201 less the sum of the quotas established in sub-
sections, (a) and (b) of section 202 : Provided, That each such country
shall be permitted to enter an amount of direct-consumption sugar
not less than the average amount entered by it during the years
1948, 1940, and 1950."

Sec. 4. Section 208 of such Act is amended to read as follows :

"Sec. 208. Quotas for liquid sugar for foreign countries for each

seagoing vessels, except as provided in Rule 30. Where, as a result
of their special construction, it is not possible for seaplanes to comply
fully with the provisions of Rules specifying the carrying of lights
and shapes, these provisions shall be followed as closely as circum-
stances permit.

(b) The Rules concerning lights shall be complied with in all
weathers from sunset to sunrise, and during such times no other
lights shall be exhibited, except such lights as cannot be mistaken for
the prescribed lights or impair their visibility or distinctive character,

under power, whether under sail or not, is to be considered a
power-driven vessel ;

(v) a vessel or seaplane on the water is "under way" when she
is not at anchor, or made fast to the shore, or aground ;

(vi) the term "height above the hull" means height above the
uppermost continuous deck ;

(vii) the length and breadth of a vessel shall be deemed to be
the length and breadth appearing in her certificate of registry ;

so constructed as to show an unbroken light over an arc of the
horizon of 20 points of the compass (225 degrees), so fixed as to
show the light 10 points (112% degrees) on each side of the
vessel, that is^from right ahead to 2 points (22% degrees) abaft
the beam on either side, and of such a character as to be visible
at a distance of at least 5 miles.

(ii) Either forward of or abaft the white light mentioned in
sub-section (i) a second white light similar in construction and
character to that light. Vessels of less than 150 feet in length,
and vessels engaged in towing, shall not be required to carry this
second white light but may do so.

(iii) These two white lights shall be so placed in a line with
and over the keel that one shall be at least 15 feet higher than
the other and in such a position that the lower light shall be for-
ward of the upper one. The horizontal distance between the two
white lights shall be at least three times the vertical distance.
The lower of these two white lights or, if only one is carried, then
that light, shall be placed at a height above the hull of not less
than 20 feet, and, if the breadth of the vessel exceeds 20 feet, then
at a height above the hull not less than such breadth, so however
that the light need not be placed at a greater height above the
hull than 40 feet. In all circumstances the light or lights, as the
case may be, shall be so placed as to be clear of and above all
other lights and obstructing superstructures.

(iv) On the starboard side a green light so constructed as to
show an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of
the compass (112% degrees), so fixed as to show the light from

board side, and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of
at least 2 miles.

(v) On the port side a red light so constructed as to show an
unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of the com-
pass (112% degrees), so fixed as to show the light from right
ahead to 2 points (22% degrees) abaft the beam on the port side,
and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least 2
miles.

(vi) The said green and red sidelights shall be fitted with
inboard screens projecting at least 3 feet forward from the light,

r so as to prevent these lights from being seen across the bows,
(b) A seaplane under way on the water shall carry: —

(i) In the forepart amidships where it can best be seen a bright
white light, so constructed as to show an unbroken light over an
arc of the horizon of 220 degrees of the compass, so fixed as to show
the light 110 degrees on each side of the seaplane, namely, from
right ahead to 20 degrees abaft the beam on either side, and of
such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least 3 miles.

(ii) On the right or starboard wing tip a green light, so con-
structed as to show an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon
of 110 degrees of the compass, so fixed as to show the light from
right ahead to 20 degrees abaft the beam on the starboard side,
and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least
2 miles.

(iii) On the left or port wing tip a red light, so constructed
as to show an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 110
degrees of the compass, so fixed as to show the light from right
ahead to 20 degrees abaft the beam on the port side, and of such

rule 3

(a) A power-driven vessel when towing or pushing another vessel
or seaplane shall, in addition to her sidelights, carry two bright white
lights in a vertical line one over the other, not less than 6 feet apart,
and when towing more than one vessel shall carry an additional bright
white light 6 feet above or below such lights, if the length of the tow,
measuring from the stern of the towing vessel to the stern of the last
vessel or seaplane towed, exceeds 600 feet. Each of these lights shall
be of the same construction and character and one of them shall be
carried in the same position as the white light mentioned in Rule 2
(a) (i) , except the additional light, which shall be carried at a height
of not less than 14 feet above the hull. In a vessel with a single mast,
such lights may be carried on the mast.

(b) The towing vessel shall also show either the stern light specified
in Rule 10 or in lieu of that light a small white light abaft the funnel
or aftermast for the tow to steer by, but such light shall not be visible
forward of the beam. The carriage of the white light specified in
Rule 2 (a) (ii) is optional.

(c) A seaplane on the water, when towing one or more seaplanes
or vessels, shall carry the lights prescribed in Rule 2 (b) (i), (ii)
and (iii) ; and, in addition, she shall carry a second white light of
the same construction and character as the white light mentioned in
Rule 2 (b) (i) , and in a vertical line at least 6 feet above or below such
light.

RULE 4

( a ) A vessel which is not under command shall carry, where they
can best be seen, and, if a power-driven vessel, in lieu of the lights
required by Rule 2 (a) (i) and (ii), two red lights in a vertical line
one over the other not less than 6 feet apart, and of such a character as
to be visible all round the horizon at a distance of at least 2 miles.
By day, she shall carry in a vertical line one over the other not less than
6 feet apart, where they can best be seen, two black balls or shapes
each not less than 2 feet in diameter.

(b) A seaplane on the water which is not under command may carry,
where they can best be seen, two red lights in a vertical line, one over
the other, not less than 3 feet apart, and of such a character as to be
visible all round the horizon at a distance of at least 2 miles, and may
by day carry in a vertical line one over the other not less than 3 feet
apart, where they can best be seen, two black balls or shapes, each not
less than 2 feet in diameter.

(c) A vessel engaged in laying or in picking up a submarine cable
or navigation mark, or a vessel engaged in surveying or underwater
operations when from the nature of her work she is unable to get out
of the way of approaching vessels, shall carry, in lieu of the lights
specified in Rule 2 (a) (i) and (ii), three lights in a vertical line one
over the other not less than 6 feet apart. The highest and lowest of
these lights shall be red, and the middle light shall be white, and
they shall be of such a character as to be visible all round the horizon
at a distance of at least 2 miles. By day, she shall carry in a vertical
line one over the other not less than 6 feet apart, where they can best
be seen, three shapes each not less than 2 feet in diameter, of which
the highest and lowest shall be globular in shape and red in colour,
and the middle one diamond in shape and white.

(d) The vessels and seaplanes referred to in this Rule, when not
making way through the water, shall not carry the coloured sidelights,
but when making way they shall carry them.

65 Stat.]

PUBLIC LAW 172 — OCT. 11, 1951

411

(e) The lights and shapes required to be shown by this Rule are
to be taken by other vessels and seaplanes as signals that the vessel or
seaplane showing them is not under command and cannot therefore
get out of the way.

(f ) These signals are not signals of vessels in distress and requiring
assistance. Such signals are contained in Rule 31.

RULE 5

(a) A sailing vessel under way and any vessel or seaplane being
towed shall carry the same lights as are prescribed by Rule 2 for a
power-driven vessel or a seaplane under way, respectively, with the
exception of the white lights specified therein, which they shall never
carry. They shall also carry stern lights as specified in Rule 10, pro-
vided that vessels towed, except the last vessel of a tow, may carry,
in lieu of such stern light, a small white light as specified in Rule
3(b).

(b) A vessel being pushed ahead shall carry, at the forward end,
on the starboard side a green light and on the port side a red light,
which shall have the same characteristics as the lights described in
Rule 2 (a) (iy) and (v) and shall be screened as provided in Rule 2
(a) (vi) ^provided that any number of vessels pushed ahead in a group
shall be lighted as one vessel.

RULE 6

(a) In small vessels, when it is not possible on account of bad
weather or other sufficient cause to fix the green and red sidelights,
these lights shall be kept at hand lighted and ready for immediate use,
and shall, on the approach of or to other vessels, be exhibited on their
respective sides in sufficient time to prevent collision, in such manner
as to make them most visible, and so that the green light shall not be
seen on the port side nor the red light on the starboard side, nor, if
practicable, more than 2 points (22% degrees) abaft the beam on their
respective sides.

(b) To make the use of these portable lights more certain and
easy, the lanterns containing them shall each be painted outside with
the colour of the lights they respectively contain, and shall be provided
with proper screens.

RULE 7

Power-driven vessels of less than 40 tons, vessels under oars or
sails of less than 20 tons, and rowing boats, when under way shall not
be required to carry the lights mentioned in Rule 2, but if they do
not carry them they shall be provided with the following lights :—

(a) Power-driven vessels of less than 40 tons, except as provided
in section (b) , shall carry : —

(i) In the forepart of the vessel, where it can best be seen, and
at a height above the gunwale of not less than 9 feet, a bright
white light constructed and fixed as prescribed in Rule 2 (a) (i)
and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least
3 miles.

(ii) Green and red sidelights constructed and fixed as pre-
scribed in Rule 2 (a) (iv) and (v), and of such a character as
to be visible at a distance of at least 1 mile, or a combined lantern
showing a green light and a red light from right ahead to 2
points (22i/ 2 degrees) abaft the beam on their respective sides.
Such lantern shall be carried not less than 3 feet below the white
light.

[65 Stat.

(b) Small power-driven boats, such as are carried by seagoing
vessels, may carry the white light at a less height than 9 feet above
the gunwale, but it shall be carried above the sidelights or the combined
lantern mentioned in subsection (a) (ii) .

(c) Vessels of less than 20 tons, under oars or sails, except as pro-
vided in section (d), shall, if they do not carry the sidelights, carry
where it can best be seen a lantern showing a green light on one side
and a red light on the other, of such a character as to be visible at a
distance of at least 1 mile, and so fixed that the green light shall not
be seen on the port side, nor the red light on the starboard side. Where
it is not possible to fix this light, it shall be kept ready for immediate
use and shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision and
so that the green light shall not be seen on the port side nor the red
light on the starboard side.

(d) Small rowing boats, whether under oars or sail, shall only be
required to have ready at hand an electric torch or a lighted lantern
showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to
prevent collision.

(e) The vessels and boats referred to in this Rule shall not be re-
quired to carry the lights or shapes prescribed in Eules 4 (a) and
11 (e).

RULE 8

(a) (i) Sailing pilot-vessels, when engaged on their station on
pilotage duty and not at anchor, shall not show the lights prescribed
for other vessels, but shall carry a white light at the masthead visible
all round the horizon at a distance of at least 3 miles, and shall also
exhibit a flare-up light or flare-up lights at short intervals, which
shall never exceed 10 minutes.

(ii) On the near approach of or to other vessels they shall have
their sidelights lighted ready for use and shall flash or show them
at short intervals, to indicate the direction in which they are heading,
but the green light shall not be shown on the port side, nor the red
light on the starboard side.

(iii) A sailing pilot-vessel of such a class as to be obliged to go
alongside of a vessel to put a pilot on board may show the white light
instead of carrying it at the masthead and may, instead of the side-
lights above mentioned, have at hand ready for use a lantern with a
green glass on the one side and a red glass on the other to be used as
prescribed above.

(b) A power-driven pilot- vessel when engaged on her station on
pilotage duty and not at anchor shall, in addition to the lights and
flares required for sailing pilot-vessels, carry at a distance of 8 feet
below her white masthead light a red light visible all around the
horizon at a distance of at least 3 miles, and also the sidelights required
to be carried by vessels when under way. A bright intermittent all
round white light may be used in place of a flare.

(c) All pilot-vessels, when engaged on their stations on pilotage
duty and at anchor, shall carry the lights and show the flares prescribed
in sections (a) and (b), except that the sidelights shall not be shown.
They shall also carry the anchor light or lights prescribed in Rule 11.

other efficient sound signal that cannot be mistaken for any signal
authorised elsewhere under these Rules.

RULE 13

(a) Nothing in these Rules shall interfere with the operation of any
special rules made by the Government of any nation with respect to
additional station and signal lights for ships of war, for vessels sailing
under convoy, or for seaplanes on the water; or with the exhibition

i) by power-driven vessels on the whistle;

ii) by sailing vessels on the fog-horn ;

( iii) by vessels towed on the whistle or fog-horn.

( c) In fog, mist, falling snow, heavy rainstorms, or any other condi-
tion similarly restricting visibility, whether by day or night, the sig-
nals prescribed in this Rule shall be used as follows : —

( i) A power-driven vessel making way through the water, shall
sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes a prolonged blast.

(ii) A power-driven vessel under w T ay, but stopped and making
no way through the water, shall sound at intervals of not more
than 2 minutes two prolonged blasts, with an interval of about 1
second between them.

forepart of the vessel, and in addition there shall be sounded in the
after part of the vessel, at intervals of not more than 1 minute for
about 5 seconds, a gong or other instrument, the tone and sounding
of which cannot be confused with that of the bell. Every vessel
at anchor may in addition, in accordance with Rule 12, sound three
blasts in succession, namely, one short, one prolonged, and one
short blast, to give warning of her position and of the possibility
of collision to an approaching vessel.

(v) A vessel when towing, a vessel engaged in laying or in
picking up a submarine cable or navigation mark, and a vessel
under way which is unable to get out of the way of an approaching
vessel through being not under command or unable to manoeuvre
as required by these Rules shall, instead of the signals prescribed
in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) sound, at intervals of not more
than 1 minute, three blasts in succession, namely, one prolonged
blast followed by two short blasts.

the last vessel of the tow, if manned, shall, at intervals of not more
than 1 minute, sound four blasts in succession, namely, one pro-
longed blast followed by three short blasts. When practicable,
this signal shall be made immediately after the signal made by
the towing vessel.

(vii) A vessel aground shall give the signal prescribed in
sub-section (iv) and shall, in addition, give three separate and
distinct strokes on the bell immediately before and after each
such signal.

( viii) A vessel of less than 20 tons, a rowing boat, or a seaplane
on the water, shall not be obliged to give the above-mentioned
signals, but if she does not, she shall make some other efficient
sound signal at intervals of not more than 1 minute.

(ix) A vessel when fishing, if of 20 tons or upwards, shall at
intervals of not more than 1 minute, sound a blast, such blast to

Speed to be moderate in fog, &c.

(a) Every vessel, or seaplane when taxi-ing on the water, shall, in
fog, mist, falling snow, heavy rainstorms or any other condition
similarly restricting visibility, go at a moderate speed, having careful
regard to the existing circumstances and conditions.

(b) A power-driven vessel hearing, apparently forward of her beam,
the fog- signal of a vessel the position of which is not ascertained,
shall, so far as the circumstances of the case admit, stop her engines,
and then navigate with caution until danger of collision is over.

PART C. — STEERING AND SAILING RULES

PRELIMINARY

1. In obeying and construing these Rules, any action taken should
be positive, in ample time, and with due regard to the observance of
good seamanship.

2. Risk of collision can, when circumstances permit, be ascertained
by carefully watching the compass bearing of an approaching vessel.
If the bearing does not appreciably change, such risk should be deemed
to exist.

3. Mariners should bear in mind that seaplanes in the act of landing
or taking off, or operating under adverse weather conditions, may be
unable to change their intended action at the last moment.

RULE 17

When two sailing vessels are approaching one another, so as to
involve risk of collision, one of them shall keep out of the way of the
other, as follows : —

(a) A vessel which is running free shall keep out of the way of a
vessel which is close-hauled.

(b) A vessel which is close-hauled on the port tack shall keep out
of the way of a vessel which is close-hauled on the starboard tack.

(c) When both are running free, with the wind on different sides,
the vessel which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the
way of the other.

(d) When both are running free, with the wind on the same side,
the vessel which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the
vessel which is to leeward.

(e) A vessel which has the w T ind aft shall keep out of the way of
the other vessel.

RULE 18

(a) When two power-driven vessels are meeting end on, or nearly
end on, so as to involve risk of collision, each shall alter her course to
starboard, so that each may pass on the port side of the other. This
Rule only applies to cases where vessels are meeting end on, or nearly
end on, in such a manner as to involve risk of collision, and does not
apply to two vessels which must, if both keep on their respective
courses, pass clear of each other. The only cases to which it does apply
are when each of two vessels is end on, or nearly end on, to the other;
in other words, to cases in which, by day, each vessel sees the masts
of the other in a line, or nearly in a line, with her own; and by
night, to cases in which each vessel is in such a position as to see both
the sidelights of the other. It does not apply, by day, to cases in

PUBLIC LAW 172 — OCT. 11, 1951

[65 Stat

which a vessel sees another ahead crossing her own course; or, by
night, to cases where the red light of one vessel is opposed to the
red light of the other or where the green light of one vessel is opposed
to the green light of the other or where a red light without a green
light or a green light without a red light is seen ahead, or where both
green and red lights are seen anywhere but ahead.

(b) For the purposes of this Rule and Rules 19 to 29 inclusive,
except Rule 20 (b), a seaplane on the water shall be deemed to be a
vessel, and the expression "power-driven vessel" shall be construed
accordingly.

RULE 19

When two power-driven vessels are crossing, so as to involve risk
of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side
shall keep out of the way of the other.

RULE 2 0

(a) When a power-driven vessel and a sailing vessel are proceeding
in such directions as to involve risk of collision, except as provided in
Rules 24 and 26, the power-driven vessel shall keep out of the way
of the sailing vessel.

(b) A seaplane on the water shall, in general, keep well clear of
all vessels and avoid impeding their navigation. In circumstances,
however, where risk of collision exists, she shall comply with these
Rules.

RULE 21

Where by any of these Rules one of two vessels is to keep out of the
way, the other shall keep her course and speed. When, from any
cause, the latter vessel finds herself so close that collision cannot be
avoided by the action of the giving-way vessel alone, she also shall
take such action as will best aid to avert collision (see Rules 27 and 29) .

RULE 22

Every vessel which is directed by these Rules to keep out of the way
of another vessel shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid
crossing ahead of the other.

RULE 23

Every power-driven vessel which is directed by these Rules to keep
out of the way of another vessel shall, on approaching her, if necessary,
slacken her speed or stop or reverse.

RULE 24

(a ) Notwithstanding anything contained in these Rules, every vessel
overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the overtaken vessel.

(b) Every vessel coming up with another vessel from any direction
more than 2 points (22% degrees) abaft her beam, i. e. in such a posi-
tion, with reference to the vessel which she is overtaking, that at night
she would be unable to see either of that vessel's sidelights, shall be
deemed to be an overtaking vessel ; and no subsequent alteration of the
bearing between the two vessels shall make the overtaking vessel a
crossing vessel within the meaning of these Rules, or relieve her of the
duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past
and clear.

65 Stat.]

PUBLIC LAW 172— OCT. 11, 1951

(c) If the overtaking vessel cannot determine with certainty
whether she is forward of or abaft this direction from the other vessel,
she shall assume that she is an overtaking vessel and keep out of the
way.

RULE 2 5

(a) In a narrow channel every power-driven vessel when proceeding
along the course of the channel shall, when it is safe and practicable,
keep to that side of the fairway or mid-channel which lies on the star-
board side of such vessel.

(b) Whenever a power-driven vessel is nearing a bend in a channel
where a power-driven vessel approaching from the other direction
cannot be seen, such vessel, when she shall have arrived within one-
half mile of the bend, shall give a signal by one prolonged blast of her
whistle, which signal shall be answered by a similar blast given by any
approaching power-driven vessel that may be within hearing around
the bend. Regardless of whether an approaching vessel on the farther
side of the bend is heard, such bend shall be rounded with alertness
and caution.

RULE 26

All vessels not engaged in fishing shall, when under way, keep out
of the way of any vessels fishing with nets or lines or trawls. This
Rule shall not give to any vessel engaged in fishing the right of
obstructing a fairway used by vessels other than fishing vessels.

RULE 27

In obeying and construing these Rules due regard shall be had to all
dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special circumstances,
including the limitations of the craft involved, which may render a
departure from the above Rules necessary in order to avoid immediate
danger.

PART D. — MISCELLANEOUS

RULE 28

(a) When vessels are in sight of one another, a power-driven vessel
under way, in taking any course authorised or required by these Rules,
shall indicate that course by the following signals on her whistle,
namely : —

One short blast to mean "I am altering my course to starboard."
Two short blasts to mean "I am altering my course to port."
Three short blasts to mean "My engines are going astern."

(b) Whenever a power-driven vessel which, under these Rules, is
to keep her course and speed, is in sight of another vessel and is in
doubt whether sufficient action is being taken by the other vessel to
avert collision, she may indicate such doubt by giving at least five short
and rapid blasts on the whistle. The giving of such a signal shall not
relieve a vessel of her obligations under Rules 27 and 29 or any other
Rule, or of her duty to indicate any action taken under these Rules
by giving the appropriate sound signals laid down in this Rule.

(c) Nothing in these Rules shall interfere with the operation of
any special rules made by the Government of any nation with respect
to the use of additional whistle signals between ships of war or vessels
sailing under convoy.

RULE 29

Nothing in these Rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner,
master or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to carry

420

PUBLIC LAW 173— OCT. 12, 1951

[65 Stat.

lights or signals, or of any neglect to keep a proper look-out, or of the
neglect of any precaution which may be required by the ordinary
practice of seamen, or by the special circumstances of the case.

RULE 30

Reservation of Rules for Harbours and Inland Navigation

Nothing in these Rules shall interfere with the operation of a special
rule duly made by local authority relative to the navigation of any
harbour, river, lake, or inland water, including a reserved seaplane
area.

RULE 31

Distress Signals

When a vessel or seaplane on the water is in distress and requires
assistance from other vessels or from the shore, the following shall be
the signals to be used or displayed by her, either together or separately,
namely : —

(a) A gun or other explosive signal fired at intervals of about a
minute.

( b) A continuous sounding with any fog-signal apparatus.

(d) A signal made by radiotelegraphy or by any other signalling
method consisting of the group ... ... in the Morse Code.

(e) A signal sent by radiotelephony consisting of the spoken word
"Mayday."

(f ) The International Code Signal of distress indicated by N.C.

(g) A signal consisting of a square flag having above or below it a
ball or anything resembling a ball.

(h) Flames on the vessel (as from a burning tar barrel, oil barrel,
Ac.) .

( i ) A rocket parachute flare showing a red light.

The use of any of the above signals, except for the purpose of
indicating that a vessel or a seaplane is in distress, and the use of any
signals which may be confused with any of the above signals, is
prohibited.

Note. — A radio signal has been provided for use by vessels in distress
for the purpose of actuating the auto-alarms of other vessels and thus
securing attention to distress calls or messages. The signal consists
of a series of twelve dashes, sent in 1 minute, the duration of each dash
being 4 seconds, and the duration of the interval between two consecu-
tive dashes 1 second.

RULE 32

All orders to helmsmen shall be given in the following sense : right
rudder or starboard to mean "put the vessel's rudder to starboard";
left rudder or port to mean "put the vessel's rudder to port."

by it, and certifies to the Secretary not more than 60 days prior to the
close of the taxable year of a registered management investment com-
pany, that such investment company is principally engaged in the
furnishing of capital to other corporations which are principally
engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions, techno-
logical improvements, new processes, or products not previously gen-
erally available, such investment company may, in the computation of
50 per centum of the value of its assets under subparagraph (A) of
subsection (b) (3) for any quarter of such taxable year, include the Infra -
value of any securities of an issuer, notwithstanding the fact that
such investment company holds more than 10 per centum of the out-
standing voting securities of such issuer, but only if the investment
company has not continuously held any security of such issuer (or of
any predecessor company of such issuer as determined under regula-
tions prescribed by the Secretary) for 10 or more years preceding such
quarter of such taxable year. The provisions of this subsection shall
not apply at the close of any quarter of a taxable year to an invest-
ment company if at the close of such quarter more than 25 per centum
of the value of its total assets is represented by securities of issuers

ment company has continuously held any security for 10 or more
years preceding such quarter unless the value of its total assets so
represented is reduced to 25 per centum or less within 30 days after the
close of such quarter. The terms used in this subsection shall have the
same meaning as in subsection (b) (3) of this section. For the pur-
poses of this subsection, unless the Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion determines otherwise, a corporation shall be considered to be
principally engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions,
technological improvements, new processes, or products not previ-
ously generally available, for at least 10 years after the date of the
first acquisition of any security in such corporation or any predecessor
thereof by such investment company if at the date of such acquisition
the corporation or its predecessor was principally so engaged, and
an investment company shall be considered at any date to be fur-
nishing capital to any company whose securities it holds if within
10 years prior to such date it has acquired any of such securities,
or any securities surrendered in exchange therefor, from such other
company or predecessor thereof. For the purposes of the cer-
tification hereunder, the Securities and Exchange Commission shall
have authority to issue such rules, regulations and orders, and to
conduct such investigations and hearings, either public or private, as
it may deem appropriate."

"In the case of any partnership interest created by gift, the dis-
tributive share of the donee under the partnership agreement shall
be includible in his gross income, except to the extent that such share
is determined without allowance of reasonable compensation for
services rendered to the partnership by the donor, and except to the
extent that the portion of such share attributable to donated capital
is proportionately greater than the share of the donor attributable to
the donor's capital. The distributive share of a partner in the earn-
ings of the partnership shall not be diminished because of absence
due to military service. For the purpose of this section, an interest
purchased by one member of a family from another shall be con-
sidered to be created by gift from the seller, and the fair market value

applicable with respect to all distributive shares of income derived
by the family partners from such taxable year of the partnership
beginning in 1950, and

(2) if a taxable year of the partnership ending in 1951 ends
within or with a taxable year of any family partner which began
in 1950, then the amendments made by this section shall not be
applicable with respect to any of the distributive shares of income
derived by the family partners from such taxable year of the

amount of the recovery plus the aggregate of the amounts of
previous such recoveries do not exceed that part of the aggre-
gate of the allowable deductions in prior taxable years on
account of the destruction or seizure of property described
in subsection (a) which did not result in a reduction of any

53 stat 104. ^ ^ tax of the taxpayer under this chapter or chapter 2, such

seg Q U " 6 amount shall not be includible in gross income and shall not

be deemed gain upon the involuntary conversion of property
as a result of its destruction or seizure. To the extent that
such amount plus the aggregate of the amounts of previous
such recoveries exceed that part of the aggregate of such
deductions, which did not result in a reduction of any tax
of the taxpayer under this chapter or chapter 2 and do not
exceed that part of the aggregate of such deductions which

section (a) as destroyed or seized. The amount of the recovery
determined under this subparagraph shall be reduced for
the purposes of subparagraphs (B) and (C) by the amount
of the obligations or liabilities with respect to the property
considered under subsection (a) as destroyed or seized in

sidered under subsection (a) as destroyed or seized, which is
not in excess of the allowable deductions in prior taxable years

amount of such allowable deductions being first reduced by
the aggregate amount of any prior recoveries in respect of the
same property) shall be excluded from gross income for the
taxable year of the recovery for the purpose of computing
the tax under this chapter and chapter 2; but there shall be
added to, and assessed and collected as a part of, the tax under
this chapter for the taxable year of the recovery the total
increase in the tax under this chapter and chapter 2 for all
taxable years which would result by decreasing, in an amount
equal to such part of the recovery so excluded, such deduc-

destruction or seizure of the property. Such increase in the
tax for each such year so resulting shall be computed in
accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
Such regulations shall give effect to previous recoveries of

seizure of property described in subsection (a), and increased by

there shall be substituted for the base period of the taxpayer the period
of 48 consecutive months ending March 31, 1950, if such substitution
produces a lesser tax under this subchapter for the taxable year for
which the tax is being computed. In computing the average base

purposes and upon such terms and conditions and with such security
and such priority in payments over existing obligations, secured or
unsecured, or receivership charges, as might in an equity receivership
be lawful. Where such certificates are authorized to provide funds to
pay for the acquisition, assembly or installation of safety equipment
or materials related thereto, or for the purpose of reimbursing the
trustee or trustees for funds so expended, the judge may direct (with-
out limitation of his power to make such direction in the absence of this
provision) that the certificates shall have such lien on the property of
the debtor and shall be entitled to such priority in payments over exist-
ing obligations, secured or unsecured, and receivership charges and
present or future duties, debts or taxes or other obligations in favor of
or payable to any State or any subdivision, agency or instrumentality
thereof and interest or penalties, and to such parity with all or any
portion of the other costs or expenses of administration or operation as
in the particular case the judge may find equitable at the time of author-
izing the issuance of such certificates, regardless of whether such obli-
gations, charges, costs or expenses, duties, debts, or taxes constitute or
are secured by liens on real or personal property or shall have become
payable before or after the issuance of such certificates."

Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect immediately upon the date of its
approval and shall apply to any authorization given by the judge,
regardless of whether such authorization shall have been given before
or shall be given after such date. Neither the enactment of this Act
nor anything herein contained shall be construed as implying that,
prior to the date of approval of this Act, the judge was not vested
with the power which is expressly granted to him by this Act.

To provide for the appointment of conservators to conserve the assets and provide
for the personal welfare of persons of advanced age, mental weakness, not
amounting to unsoundness of mind, or physical incapacity.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That if an adult
person residing in or having property in the District of Columbia is
unable, by reason of advanced age, mental -weakness (not amounting
to unsoundness of mind), or physical incapacity properly to care for
his property, the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia may, upon his petition or the sworn petition of one or more
of his relatives or any other person or persons, appoint some fit person
to be conservator of his property;

Seo. 2. Upon the filing of such petition, the court shall fix a time
and place for a hearing thereon ; and shall cause at least fourteen days'
notice thereof to be given to the person for whom a conservator is
sought to be appointed, if he is not the petitioner, and to such other
persons as the court shall direct. The petition shall include, among
other things —

(1) the reasons for the appointment of a conservator;

(2) the name and address of the person for whom the conserv-
ator is sought;

(3) the date and place of his birth, if known; and

(4) the names and addresses of the nearest known heirs at law,
or the next of kin, if any.

The court in its discretion may appoint some disinterested person to
act as guardian ad litem in any proceeding hereunder. Upon a finding
that the person for whom the conservator is sought is incapable of
caring for his property, the court shall appoint a conservator who
shall have the charge and management of the property of such person
subject to the direction of the court.

Sec. 3. Such conservator before entering upon the discharge of his
duties shall execute an undertaking with surety to be approved by the
court in such maximum amount as the court may order, conditioned
on the faithful performance of his duties as such conservator ; and he
shall have control of the estate, real and personal, of the person for
whom he has been appointed conservator, with power to collect all
debts due such person, and upon authority of the court to adjust and
settle all accounts owing by him, and to sue and be sued in his repre-
sentative capacity. He shall apply such part of the annual income
and such part of the principal of the estate of such person as the court
may authorize to the support of such person and the maintenance and
education of his family and children; and shall in all other respects
perform the same duties and have the same rights and powers with
respect to the property of such person as have guardians of the estates
of infants.

Seo. 4. When any person for whom a conservator has been appointed
under the provisions of this Act shall become competent to manage his
property, he may apply to such court to have such conservator dis-
charged and to be restored to the care and control of his property. If
the court finds him to be competent, an order shall be entered restoring
the care and control of his property to such person. The court shall
have the same powers with respect to the property of any person for
whom a conservator has been appointed as it has with respect to the
property of infants under guardianships.

Sec. 5. Upon filing of a petition as provided by this Act the court
may, with or without notice or hearing, appoint a temporary conser-

vator of the estate of any person hereunder, if it deems such action
necessary for the protection of such estate, subject to the provisions
for an undertaking contained in section 3 hereof. Such temporary
conservator shall serve only until such time as a permanent conser-
vator can be appointed or until sooner discharged.

Sec. 6. The court, in its discretion, may at any time order that the
conservator or some other person shall be responsible for the personal
welfare of the person whose property is under conservatorship. In
such event the conservator or such other person, subject to the direction
and control of the Civil Division of the court, shall have the same
powers and duties with respect to the personal welfare of the said per-
son as have the guardians of the persons of infants under guardian-
ships.

Seo. 7. Lis pendens: Upon the filing of a petition hereunder, a
certified copy of such petition may be filed for record in the office of the
Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. If a conservator be
appointed on such petition, all contracts, except for necessaries, and
all transfers of real and personal property made by the ward after such
filing and before the termination of the conservatorship shall be void.

of war: Provided, That the President after receiving the advice of
the Administrator and after taking into account the contribution of
such country to the mutual security of the free world, the importance
of such assistance to the security of the United States, the strategic
importance of imports received from countries of the Soviet bloc, and
the adequacy of such country's controls over the export to the Soviet
bloc of items of strategic importance, may direct the continuance of
such assistance to a country which permits shipments of items other
than arms, ammunition, implements of war, and atomic energy
materials when unusual circumstances indicate that the cessation of
aid would clearly be detrimental to the security of the United States :
Provided further, That the President shall immediately report any
determination made pursuant to the first proviso of this section with

Sec. 105. For the purposes of this Act the term "assistance" does
not include activities carried on for the purpose of facilitating the
procurement of materials in which the United States is deficient.

Sec. 201. The Congress of the United States further declares it to be
the policy of the United States to regulate the export of commodities
other than those specified in title I of this Act to any nation or com-
bination of nations threatening the security of the United States,
including the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and all countries
under its domination, in order to strengthen the United States and
other cooperating nations of the free world and to oppose and offset

Sec. 202. The United States shall negotiate with any country receiv-
ing military, economic, or financial assistance arrangements for the
recipient country to undertake a program for controlling exports of

or combination of nations threatening the security of the United States,
including the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and all countries
under its domination.

Sec. 203. All military, economic, and financial assistance shall be
terminated when the President determines that the recipient country

"(2) CoNYER S IO N INTO MONEY WHERE DISPOSITION OCCURRED

prior to 1951. — Into money, and the disposition of the converted
property occurred before January 1, 1951, no gain shall be recog-
nized if such money is forthwith in good faith, under regulations
prescribed by the Secretary, expended in the acquisition of other
property similar or related in service or use to the property so
converted, or in the acquisition of control of a corporation owning
such other property, or in the establishment of a replacement
fund. If any part of the money is not so expended, the gain shall
be recognized to the extent of the money which is not so expended
(regardless of whether such money is received in one or more
taxable years and regardless of whether or not the money which
is not so expended constitutes gain). For the purposes of this
paragraph and paragraph (3), the term 'disposition of the con-
verted property' means the destruction, theft, seizure, requisition,
or condemnation of the converted property, or the sale or exchange
of such property under threat or imminence of requisition or
condemnation.

"(3) Conversion into money where disposition occtjrred
after 1950. — Into money or into property not similar or related
in service or use to the converted property, and the disposition of
the converted property (as denned in paragraph (2)) occurred
after December 31, 1950, the gain (if any) shall be recognized
except to the extent hereinafter provided in this paragraph :

" (A) Nonrecognition of bain. — If the taxpayer during the
period specified in subparagraph (B), for the purpose of
replacing the property so converted, purchases other property
similar or related in service or use to the property so con-
verted, or purchases stock in the acquisition of control of a
corporation owning such other property, at the election of
the taxpayer the gain shall be recognized only to the extent
that the amount realized upon such conversion (regardless
of whether such amount is received in one or more taxable
years) exceeds the cost of such other property or such stock.
Such election shall be made at such time and in such manner
as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe. For the pur-
poses of this paragraph —

"(i) no property or stock acquired before the disposi-
tion of the converted property shall be considered to have
been acquired for the purpose of replacing such converted

Property unless held by the taxpayer on the date of such
isposition; and

"(ii) the taxpayer shall be considered to have pur-
chased property or stock only if, but for the provisions
53 stat. 42. of section 113 (a) (9) , the unadjusted basis of such prop-

ria u. s. c. 5 113 (a) ert y or s t 0 ck would be its cost within the meaning of

section 113 (a).
" (B) Period Within Which Property Must Be Replaced.—
The period referred to in subparagraph (A) shall be the
period beginning with the date of the disposition of the con-
verted property, or the earliest date of the threat or immi-
nence of requisition or condemnation of the converted prop-
erty, whichever is the earlier, and ending—

"(i) one year after the close of the first taxable year

in which any part of the gain upon the conversion is

realized, or

"(ii) subject to such terms and conditions as may be
specified by the Secretary, at the close of such_ later
date as the Secretary may designate upon application by

the taxpayer. Such application shall be made at such
time and in such manner as the Secretary may by regula-
tions prescribe.
"(C) Time for Assessment of Deficiency Attributable to
Gain TJpon Conversion. — If a taxpayer has made the election
provided in subparagraph (A) ? then (i) the statutory period
for the assessment ot any deficiency, for any taxable year in
which any part of the gain upon such conversion is realized,
attributable to such gain shall not expire prior to the expira-
tion of three years from the date the Secretary is notified by
the taxpayer (in such manner as the Secretary may by regula-
tions prescribe) of the replacement of the converted property
or of an intention not to replace ; and (ii) such deficiency may
be assessed prior to the expiration of such three-year period
notwithstanding the provisions of section 272 ( f ) or the pro- g stat. 83. ^ ^
visions of any other law or rule of law which would otherwise
prevent such assessment.

"(D) Time for Assessment of Other Deficiencies Attrib-
utable to Election. — If the election provided in subparagraph
(A) is made by the taxpayer and such other property or such
stock was purchased prior to the beginning of the last taxable
year in which any part of the gain upon such conversion is
realized, any deficiency, to the extent resulting from such
election, for any taxable year ending before such last taxable
year may be assessed (notwithstanding the provisions of
section 272 (f) or 275 or the provisions of any other law or
rule of law which would otherwise prevent such assessment)
at any time before the expiration of the period within which
a deficiency for such last taxable year may be assessed.
This subsection shall not apply, in the case of property used by
the taxpayer as his principal residence, if the destruction, theft,
seizure, requisition, or condemnation of residence, or the sale or
exchange of such residence under threat or imminence thereof,
occurred after December 31, 1950."
(b) Section 276 of the Internal Revenue Code (relating to period of §j ujs. c". § 276.
limitation upon assessment and collection) is hereby amended by
adding at the end thereof the following:

"(f) Involuntary Conversion. — In the case of a deficiency described
hi section 112 (f) (3) (C) or (D), such deficiency may be assessed An*e,p.733<
at any time prior to the expiration of the time therein provided."

Sec. 2. Paragraph (9) of section 113 (a) of the Internal Revenue § u. a s. o" $ m (a)
Code (relating to unadjusted basis of property acquired as the result 0».
of an involuntary conversion) is hereby amended by striking out
"section 112 (f)" and inserting in lieu thereof "section 112 (f) (1) or
(2)", and by adding at the end of such paragraph the following new
sentence : "In the case of property purchased by the taxpayer which
resulted, under the provisions of section 112 (f) (3), in the nonrecog-
nition of any part of the gain realized as the result of a compulsory
or involuntary conversion, the basis shall be the cost of such property
decreased in the amount of the gain not so recognized; and if the
property purchased consists of more than one piece of property, the
basis determined under this sentence shall be allocated to the purchased
properties in proportion to their respective costs."

Sec. 3. The amendments made by the first two sections of this Act ig ^ed actions 01 des *
shall be applicable only with respect to taxable years ending after
December 31, 1950, except that the provisions of section 112 (f) (3),
and the provisions of section 113 (a) (9), of the Internal Revenue
Code as amended by this Act shall also be applicable to any taxable
year ending prior to January 1, 1951, in which (a) any gain was real-
